captaind,
Sounds interesting. I was in JA too during the 1980 Election and had taken the train from Kingston to MoBay. Due to equipment problems the train was delayed about three hours and we didn't arrive in MoBay until after dark. Remember the election violence at the time, My friend and I got a small room in downtown MoBay and listened throughout the night to gunfire on the streets. The next morning we got transport to Negril and found out that Michael Manley aws holding a rally at the roundabout after greeting some followers at the Negril Beach Club. It was the day before the election.My friend and I were the only two white people at the rally and took some great pics of MM despite being told numerous times no photos.
