Sweet Pea is in the process of removing the urchin, freshly peed on by his girlfriend, who is now running back from the beach baywatch style. The lakelizardmusic crew was there to cheer them on....enjoy. (Shortly after this, the girlfriend also stepped on an urchin and Sweet Pea came to the resuce once again. Nobody else got urchined that day, though there were lots of folks in the water and on the beach. )

Island Routes' Reggae Catamaran Cruise departs from Negril and Montego Bay, docking at bubbly watering holes like Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, Pelican Bar and Rick's Café to cheer on the brazen as they dive from the cliffs.
With snorkeling and swimming at various stops along the way, non-stop princely pours of Red Stripe and spicy snacks, the party on the waves costs $95 per person.

Sunset sippers groove to the motion of the ocean as they saddle up to the open bar.
On the Wednesday sail, the yummy buffet is a Dutch and French treat with beef bourguignon and crispy chicken and, on Friday, Caribbean fare like those addictive cornmeal flatbreads called Johnny Cakes.
Tickets are $80 per adult and $40 for kids up to 13 years old.
Aruba: Mix a dash of Aruba with a shot of Cuba and you’ve got a good time on the two-hour Havana's Sunset Cruise. One of several sails offered by family-owned Pelican Adventures, the comfy catamaran departs Friday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. from the Pelican Pier between Playa Linda and the Holiday Inn.
