I'm aware that many of you on this board know Jamaica Jewel as a friend, regular contributor to this board and owner/hostess of Jamaica Jewel guest house..
For those of you who don't or are curious I have to say it was a real nice breath of fresh air to hang in her "hood" at Duncans Bay up on the North Coast for a couple weeks..
She and her husband Barry G are two of the best and they got one sweet place right there in Duncans Bay..I have to say that the beach there gives 7 mile a run for its money and NO- not one person ask me to buy a thing-just friendly locals/fisherman going about their business. Not to mention all the excellent street and yard parties we went up to in Clarks town and many points beyond..
Negril was once my home base when In Jam.(first there in 83) but after hearing of some recent things going on up there in the West end my friend decided to pack up and leave(after living-working there for many years)and we decided to get"out-of-dodge" and closer to his yard in Trelawny..Last minute decided to check out Duncans bay for a nice stay..and one of the best moves I could have made..
If you ever had any interest in checking out the N.Coast I say that Duncans Bay and surrounding area is not to be missed...
