Karoke night at Seastar Inn. Some of the employees got up to sing. God love 'em, but they're MUCH better with a drink dispenser in their hands than a microphone.

Rick the Prick and his brother, Bobby, were visiting, and it was nice to see them again. We've been friends through a series of reaches, and I really like those tow. They come to Negril like ten times a year.

I also hooked up with Brent from Calgary, a fun guy who kind of lives a double life -- conseverative family man in Canada and wild party animal in Negril. We had great fun together living it up to the fullest, and he has some wild stories about past visits to the island.

I didn't get to sleep until late.

Roger, Famous Vincent’s first mate, has his own new boat, and I had the privilege of being his first customer. Everything on the boat is brand new, and I was so proud of Roger for taking this big step, as we’ve become close through the years from spear-fishing together dozens of times, plus we call one another long distance when I’m not in Negril – though his cell is a little shaky, and his accent is very strong, so half the time I can’t understand a word he says.

The trip together got off to a slow start, quite literally, because he was two hours late, but I gave him a pass on that one and idled the time at Seasplash with Gus, just chillin’ in the ocean and sharing our life stories – something that’s common among tourists, even if they’re just getting to know one another.

Before all this, I loaded up on carbs at my Seastar breakfast, hanging out with Rick The Prick, who had also brought a spear gun but had sold it to Kimbo. Rick was worried about the gun making it through immigration, so he took it apart in pieces, he said, then put it back together upon arrival.

Among the interesting creatures I found in the ocean this time was a long sea snake, not to be confused with the eels. Pretty cool.

Later I met an 18 year old part-time expat at Ahh Bees. You usually don’t meet ‘em that young, but as things happened, his father had re-married a Jamaican, so he’s living here half the time and said he enjoys it a lot, though I wonder if there are many peers that young. The average age in Negril is 40-plus, I would think.
