Jamaican government closes both Lime Cay and Maiden Cay with immediate effect after

Last edited Tue Dec 29, 2020, 08:48 AM - Edit history (1)

30 yachts and several other person who arrived by sea taxi violated all Covid-19 protocols on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Several persons were arrested yesterday after police showed up to lock down the parties.
The idiots were stupid enough to post live videos of their frolicking.

Maiden Cay



Lime Cay

so they left the mainland. They have no consideration for others including their own families let alone other people.
When we were young, Lime Cay was a regular Sunday outing because it's just off Port Royal and was easily the best beach near Kingston.

because I am not into the yacht crowd and as you can see it's all sand.
I like to see bathrooms and showers.

Ocho Rios & Negril are both beautiful.

Just avoid Kingston.

see Negril as a great spot for a few days. None of my friends ever stay anywhere in Ochi or Mobay. We may rdriveinto the town for a supermarket or in the case of Mobay to swim at Doctors Cave. You ouldn't pay me to live in either of them.

It's probably from pre-Covid days, but you get the idea:







When the tide is high, the beach shrinks. All I can see is a lot of white privilege.

You won't see me there but let me add that a lot of that privilege isn't really white but don't tell them.
Thanks for posting those

Except not using sea taxis, but bribing fisherman to allow them to hide on their boats and drop off on some beach near their destination..

About the invasion of tourists in our town during summer, I'll have a look at the pix that yourself and FakeNoose posted above.

I had a few things to do, down the street this morning; I know we in Victoria are fairly covid-free, but locals are still masking and sanitising when shopping. The city folk stand out like sore thumbs.

Happy new year buddy.
