After taking care of some business (god it's hard to work in Negril, did I mention that?), I met the ex and kids on the beach, and then we took the Kuyaba boat out for a snorkel/Booby Cay run. We negotiated for a few minutes, settled on 50 dollars for two hours or so (two snorkelers) and off we went. Dude was driving the boat way slow, trying to save gas I assume, and that was a bit bothersome, but it was all irie. We stopped at the canon, and wow there were a lot of fish today --- as lively as I've ever seen it in Negril.

The 7 year old even was convinced to give it a try, and she liked it, gotta admit the guy did a good job teaching her ..... We got back in the boat, other dude was still out there for a few minutes spear fishing but he came back soon enough when the mate yelled at him to hurry up cause we were all waitin ... He caught three fish, including one of those triangle style ones that kind of flutter along and look like a puffer fish.

At Booby Cay, we saw a couple of rays swimming near the shore, which was very cool .... Another local came along, having just caught a LION FISH .... He cooked it, too! Everyone is very excited for lobster season starting tomorrow!!!

I guess they've really cracked down on illegal lobsters cause I haven't seen any at all ....

Dude was motoring back way slow, I had to say something .... I am talking like 5 mph the whole way, it took nearly an hour to get from booby cay to Legends -- still tipped well (75 total) but the ex was pissed cause she was hungry and wanted to hit the restaurant .... He said he was afraid to run out of gas, but that should not have been my problem! Still a fun time. I can think of worse ways to idle away the hours than cruising on beautiful Negril ocean, perfect weather, etc.

Still have to do a bit of work, make a few calls. I think I will take the puter to Xtabi and chill on the cliffs. I still have to make my big jump.
