Daytime advice traveling with teen son.

Rent a couple paddle boards early in the morning when the sea is calm and paddle out to the reef to do some snorkeling. Great exercise and what you see on the way out there and back is pretty cool.

There is a Pirate era cannon and anchor on the reef from and old shipwreck. They should love finding those.
Bring a small jar of fish flakes and attract the reef fish.

Be sure to check the weather forecast before you do this. It's a mile out and a mile back. If rain moves in with any wind it can get very choppy, especially in the shallows around the reef.
We always call Famous Vincent. He knows the reef like the back of his hand and will lead you around to see lots of great stuff. We use frozen peas from Hi-Lo to attract fish.

Corey, how was the trip? I saw a few pics on FB. Did you find lots of fun stuff for your son to do?

Hi and thanks for asking. Yes we had a great trip. Took him to Margaritaville and Ricks so he could say he went. We didn't stay long at either but Ricks had a nice afternoon vibe going on. Took him snorkeling out by Booby Cay with Captain Billy and we enjoyed. We went to Blue Hole and he jumped several times as well as met some Jamaican and American teens his age that he hung out with for the day. That was probably his favorite spot. Then we also went up to Ramble to Border Jerk and to his grand parents home nearby. Met Rob one day downtown at Rockies and also took my son to a reggae show one evening at Roots Bamboo. Tish Brown and Crystal Axe were the main performers that night and they always put on a good show. The rest of the week we pretty much just hung at the pool and beach. He liked the pool at Travellers Hotel a lot. We enjoyed ourselves.
