Just a public service announcement...

1). If you need a COVID test to return to the US or Canada, CocoLaPalm Resort is hosting a testing site at their location on Beach Road in Negril.

My antigen test was only $50US and had the results in less than 12 hours.

They are open from 9-5 and accept walk-ins.

Very simple...very easy!

2). If you want the best pizza in Negril, Chances Negril is open again! Had a great night last night at their bonfire. Ate a yummy Trooical Pizza. Love the thin crust and just a hint of sweetness in the sauce. Mmmm...Tell Javelle that we sent you!

Getting to the point where the end is in sight! Pulled the sound system out and had a little fun at the end of the day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better group to make this vision a reality!!

Meet Toney (the little one)! He showed up today at the boat. At first he was just hanging out taking it all in.

At lunch time, as a typical 10 year old boy, when we went to the store, he asked for a toy.

Knowing his situation, rather than just hand him the toy/money, I invited him to work with us to earn the money. After some hard negotiations and explanation, we got it all worked out.

At the end of the day when it was time for him to help clean up, the young man did a remarkable job! He complained about having to use the hand broom without the handle, but soon had his area spotless. He even cleaned the broom when he was done!!

His toy cost enough that one days wage wasn’t going to cover it (and he worked like a child mind you...not “really” that hard but enough to learn a lesson), that he will return today to work again.

At the end of the day, he’ll get to take his new remote control truck home as his pay.

This was a tough lesson to teach this young man but filled my heart so much! Maybe one day Toney will grow up to come work for us aboard the boat!

We've decided to name our Mermaid "Yemaya - Ocean Mother Goddess"! Take a minute and read the story of our beautiful protector!

(Before you get too serious and think we are worshipping other Gods and things, know that we just like the story but has no religious or worship related meaning for us. Just an neat story and some history)

If anyone local has backstory as to who carved this or any other info, please pm us. We'd love to know more!!

Day 2 (cont.) Finishing of the Boat- “Shop Local”

A Tiki boat wouldn’t be a tiki without some bamboo!! We got a little taste of what it’s like the “shop “local in Jamaica, which means going up into the bush (the woods/country for you “non-Jamaicans)) and cutting the bamboo for your project.

After Joe spent all morning cutting a huge load of Bamboo, Tara, Safley and I cleaned the bamboo by sanding it with wet paper in the ocean!

Can’t wait to share pics of the finished job tomorrow as it’s being placed on the side of the boat! Rest assured...this boat is authentic!

For info on our upcoming launch, go to www.jamaicapartycruises.com

Day 2: Finishing the Boat

We had a big day today!

Started by doing the treatment to the bar back to make the plywood look like Old weathered wood.

Look at that live edge bar top that Tuffy and crew did...IMPRESSIVE!

Are you looking for a Taste of the Islands with a delicious Rum Punch? My new friend, Shauna Dennis-Powell, owner of yuris_tropical sent me a sample pack of their authentic Rum Punch.

Got to share it with some of the family this weekend and it was a reassindjng WINNER!!

I tried the Mango Punch and all I can say is YUMMY! It’s made with real fruit juice and you can tell from the mouth feel. And...it isn’t skimpy in the alcohol. You can’t taste it (sign of a dangerous Rum Punch), but it is definitely there!

Thank you to Shauna for sharing! If you want to order, you can reach out to her. These would be PERFECT to have shipped to your home in preparation for or returning from vacation. I know I never want the fun to end!!!

Who says you can't get a little creative with COVID protocols? What do you think of these signs?

Yes...we do take COVID seriously and want to make sure all our guests return home happy and healthy! We will be 100% COVID compliant when we launch. All staff will be trained and practicing the government protocols.

With that said...we are still going to have a BLAST!!

If you have any witty sayings for hand washing, etc. Post them. Let's make this as enjoyable as possible!

FUN FACT: When cutting bamboo, it must be done at night and the moon must NOT be full. Otherwise, you will get worms in the bamboo.

If you've seen the making of the boat, you know how authentic and cool this thing is. We are lining the front of the bar with bamboo. In honor of the guys harvesting the bamboo properly and getting it all installed...let's raise a toast with a BIG BAMBOO!

BIG BAMBOO

🥥 1 part Coconut Rum
🥃 1 part Light Rum
🍌 1 part Banana Liquor
🍊 2 parts Orange Juice
Drizzle of Grenadine

To Prepare: Shake all ingredients in shaker cup. Pour over ice. Garnish with mint and fresh fruit. Enjoy!

This doesn't happen by accident! The Jamaica Ministry of Tourism and all the wonderful properties, tour operators, excursions, and PEOPLE who serve us across the island are to credit!

We are excited to offer private charters for destination weddings, wedding receptions, and bachelor and bachelorette parties! How fun would it be to get married at sea at sunset aboard an awesome Tiki Barge!! Gives me chills...can't wait for the launch in January!

Anyway...excited to be a part of this amazing industry and be part of creating memorable events for all our visitors.
