Day 5 Sat. 2-20
Woke up to another beautiful morning in Negril. Actually had a fairly good stream of hot water this morning for our showers! After a couple of cups of coffee w/Bailey's we headed up the beach to find breakfast. Ate at Sun Beach. Good food at a reasonable price and a great sound system too. Off to the Craft Market by the bridge. Bought some nice little dolls for the granddaughters, got some coffee for $10 a pound, carvings and stuff. Walk out the beach side of the market and down the beach to the mouth of the Negril River. Lots of sand crabs on this part of the beach! Had fun just sitting on the seawall along the river and watching all the comings and goings.
Took a cab back to Charela and put in some serious beach time. Wanted to try a Sunfish sailboat but the wind was too low. Settled for a Sea Kayak, just for something to do. Even got Kay to go out with me for a while! Incredible how clear the ocean is in Negril! You can see the bottom all the way to the reef! Spent the rest of the afternoon floating in the Kayak and sitting in a beach chair.
Ate the five course meal at Le Vendome @ Charela. We both had steaks. Yea, I know, but we just had to have our fatty meat injection. The food, service and presentation were excellent! The red pea soup is the best soup I've ever had! Charela is a great place to eat, but it is expensive.
Took a cab to the Negril Yacht Club for a few drinks and reggae. Rob had the NEN up and running. Kinda' cool watching a show from the other end for once. Met Jacksprat and partied with Blondie and Rasta John. The band and all the soloists who stepped up to the microphone were great as usual. Another fun time at the Yacht Club. Blondie hailed us a cab and negotiated a $100J trip back to Charela. This time the driver missed Charela and I didn't get them turned around until Tree House! We sure had a couple of wild rides from the Yacht Club to Charela!! (The first night the driver took off the wrong way, toward the Light House?!?)

lost my photos for 73 but have the ones form 82 check to see if you are at Rick's in 82 in the 40 years ago post.
Won't be there in any 82 shots. Our first year was 1998.

Husker John, you are so right about the lighthouse ground and rocks. That was the place Daisy told us we could get down in the water and was very private, but was not much on comfort, plus you might meet some happy faces.
What a way to get a day started.
Sitting like King Neptune's grandson.
There is a great small cave that has a fine little tidal pool that you can get out off the hot sun and cool off for bite.
The Sun Deck was not built for comfort but Mother Nature gave you the straw and sea grass to pad your ass for sit and a strip and smoke.
If anyone has not been you there they should take a walk around, I am sure it has changed but you might get a good picture.
I think that you may even be able to get up into the Lighthouse if the caretaker is around, I think someone on here has a photo from the top.
