We must have run into each other at one time or another. I kept boats at Sands when Hans was still alive and later with Elenore after he died.

The big house was "Our Pastime". When they died Nord Weary inherited it. He sold it and started the villa of the same name he has now in another location.

I'm in Negril now but I'd love to swap stories. We were just stopped up in Red Ground with some boardies after a visit to the yard.

The Negril the visitors of today know started right there.

Hans and Eleanor, I had forgotten their names. It seems like there was a sign in the Sands that notified everyone that Eleanor was the "Brown Butch of the Beach"."

"Our Pastime" That's right! Wow, that was a heck of a place. Pretty much all by itself. Very big and nice, without being ostentatious, gaudy, or out of place.

Thank you, Captain D.


I read in this forum that there was talk of Paul and Linda McCartney visiting Negril. On one of my many walks from one end of Long Island to the other and back, I ran across the McCartney family on the beach. I had heard that they were in town. Wanting to respect their privacy, I gave them a nod and kept on trucking. But Linda called me over and we had a nice little chat. Paul was going to go water skiing and I managed to get myself in the background of the picture. The kids were beautiful. I had a great photo of a sweet little blond girl and one of Linda vamping for a photo, but I have managed to lose or misplace them.





Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Do you know what became of Steve Sharp and Erica and their son?

Edit, that was "Brown B*itch of the Beach". I don't know how B*itch became butch. It is either my Someheimer's or spell check fixed it for me and I did not notice. Eleanor was always nice to me and feminine so I did not want to let that Butch thing stand.

I guess now that my word was changed into a group of asterisks, I know how it was changed.

Cool breeze, D! That is the lady I remember. Man it is nice to see her again in a video like that. It really brings back the memories.

Thanks for much!
