Negril is better than ever! I am here, and I am having a GOOD time!

I know I've been raving about the snorkeling, but this time, I swear, it was the best i have EVER seen anywhere, including many trips to Cancun, Bora Bora, Bahamas, etc.

There had to be 20 rays -- a huge manta that even impressed the guide, plus sting rays of all sizes and colors, a few of them that started out just under the sand before swiveling away. There were eels, gigantic schools of fish (and not just the yellow ones) and so much more. I loved it!

Before I hitched a ride on the boat -- with the great Famous Vincent and his mate, Roger -- I met up with the fisherman I had mentioned before, Patrick, who for $15 sold me a huge string of fish consisting of three lobsters, a bunch of conch (so good) and five or six little fishes.

We hit Booby Cay (lots more rays again), and a guy cooked for us by prior arrangement (he kicked down side dish of cooked cabbage, and I tipped him $10), and wow what a great meal.

Back at Seastar Inn, chillin. Ran out of local minutes but Chris kicked me down .... what a sport. No plans tonight, I'm a little sunburned.

Oh ya, earlier in the day, I hung out at Whistling Bird (Rob invited me to the party at Yellowbird, but I guess I messed it all up); nice place, nice beach with lots of shade, and the bar lady, Cynthia, was very nice to us.
