Jamaica was adventurous – “Yeah Mon, No Problem”
This is what we did: We rented a small boat that was just big enough for 2 persons + our “guide” and I use the term guide loosely – oy vey! The boat was shaped like an arrowhead and was inflated with a motor on the back – we cut through the waves of the ocean very rapidly, bouncing all the way - I got more salt water in my mouth that day then I bargained for. Half way through the boat ride I took the reins – as I said before we were cutting through the waves – I cut into one and one came from the back and the entire boat filled with water – I thought we were going to flip and capsize - do I always have to think the worst? Dave jumped from the front to the back and my only thought was that our “Guide” had no idea what the heck to do – and how the hell was I going to get from behind the steering wheel that I was littlerly pinned under – But all turned out well and the guide wound up pumping the water out of the boat with a hand pump. We all laughed and said it was an adventure – "Yeah mon, no problem" – the Jamaican motto.
Next we climbed “Dunn’s river Falls” a 750 foot waterfall. You’re “supposed” to go with yes “a guide” but Dave preferred to hike it without one – again I say Oy Vey! So we trudged up and up and up to the top of the waterfall. All in all I adopted the Jamaican motto of
