    [​IMG] We had a great time, but this was more of a working holiday.. We bought a Glass bottom boat in Jamaica when we went out in May. It has spent the summer being re-fitted & painted, so when we were out there this time, we went on some of her trial runs...

    This is our boat. Family Bread

    She will be doing anything from sea trips, fishing trips, trips to the reef for snorkeling to trips up the Negril River amongst other things.

    She is already working & is moored off a resort on Negril beach..

    Our first trip was up the Negril River, which is teaming with bird life..

    I think that it is a lovely boat, very Jamaican ! and with a very catching name !

    so, do G C members have a little discount on the boat (but don't change your tune once we get there!!)?
    And who is in charge of the boat? And who is "driving" it?

    In the unlikely event that I will go to Jamaica I would certainly get in touch with you!!

    Wonderful Marley, love the sea snake, we won't all (4000) fit in the boat, I guess we will have to sit around for a few days waiting our turn soaking up the sun. I could stand that. :D

    Nice pics Marley, it looks a great place you've picked.
    The underwater shots without getting wet are a good idea. :D
