Strengthened with a full night's sleep, I woke up early on Wednesday ready for my first full day in Negril.

I had made arrangements with Famous Vincent for a spear-fishing -- it's my main activity every morning unless it's rainy for I overdo it the night before -- and we met at Seasplash, one of my fav hotels.

I guess I'm out of practice, cause not only was I missing a lot of shots, when I did get a fish, I cut my finger on his dorsal fin, and that was no fun at all. But it was still a great little trip, and it was nice to re-unite. I had talked to Pam at DeBars -- she is the beautiful expat wife of Eddie, the owner -- and she suggested bringing the fish and or lobster to DeBars to cook, so that's what I did.

But there no one was around at Debars, so Bobo, a local friend, took care of it for me and said he would put the three lobsters and about five fish in the fridge till later. Later I visited Banton, then motored to the Westender to visit Negril Bill, who suggested the Lionfish as a snack.

"It's an east coast fish, you can't get it in California, and you'd be helping the environment -- plus it tastes great," Bill told me.

I was sold. The Lionfish arrived a short time later, and I loved it. I knew I would be back daily to eat more Lionfish.

It was nice being at Westender, too, my home away from home away from home. I said hi to Alexis, the owner's daughter before motoring back to Seastar Inn.
