Gary's Jamaican Adventures

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
By the way, Scott forhees, thank you so much for
filling in, for taking the captain's chair so I could
go goof off in the sunshine.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
You're back. I'm so glad you're back. Everyone's glad you're back.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, I don't know about that, but I appreciate that.
But we go to this got down there on a Wednesday,
and I guess was the following Friday. We go on
this excursion. You get on a catamaran basically a party boat.
But I don't I think about eighteen of us on there.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
And the crew did you write on the net? I
didn't write on the net. You got to write on
the net. If you're on a catamaran, you got to
write on the net. They advised us against it. Anyway,
so that was fun. So anyway, we go, we sail
on that thing for I don't know, an hour and
a half or more to this, to this little man

(00:52):
made island called Floyd's Pelican Bar. And now I posted
if you're a friend of mine on Facebook, you can
see it. I posted this short video from Floyd's Pelican
Bar that would have been on February seventh. Floyd's Pelican
Bar is basically thrown together with driftwood and planks and

(01:18):
tree trunks, and the thatched made of dried palm leaves.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I guess. I mean, it's just a conglomeration. It's an
absolute mess. And you and then when you when they
park the camera and you clamber into this rubber boat
hold about six people. They take six of us at
a time over to the over to the floor, over
to Floyd's. Floyd actually exists. He's an ancient erastafarian who

(01:45):
runs this thing. And the first thing that happens when
you climb up what passes for a stairway into this
out of the boat and you get up there and
this young young woman comes up to you and says
it would would anything? Would you like anything from the menu?

Speaker 2 (02:00):
The food?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
You got a kitchen here? Yeah, no thanks. And then
this guy comes up, what do you want to smoke?
So and they're all they're all doing reapers, I mean
every single one. Yeah that's Jamaica. I said, no thanks,
and so well, the bar's over here. So we all
had got some red stripes and we start walking.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's very culturally insensitive of you. What's that not to
grab a big oh yeah, a bit of the reefer
and partake.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
No, I didn't want to break my streak. So that
was that was amazingly fun.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I'm just thinking about and.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Old Floyd actually exists.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Thinking about the dynamics of getting supplies to and from
Floyd's limes. All right, we'll see you on Tuesday. I know,
I don't know where they where they go, where they live.
They all they I don't think they can lie supose
it and they could pass out on the on the
floor of that place. One of the people on our

(02:57):
little excursion had to use the bathroom and she goes
so it's okay, it's up there, and it turns out
she reported back, and I've never been so happy in
my life that I didn't have to use a bathroom.
After I heard which how she described it, it was basically, uh,
the only thing I made of a bathroom is that

(03:19):
had a door on it. There was nothing never You
just basically pee on the floor and there's spaces between
the planks. And I said, okay, okay, I don't need
to use that. But that was wild and old Floyd
he didn't, but he had to break up a fight.
He was a beauty. Yeah, that was something if you

(03:42):
ever go down there, I don't know. No.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I it was after I went back to the camera
and the group behind us said, oh yeah, a couple
of the people with running the boats got into it.
Floyd through one of them out. But I'll tell you what,
the people down there that I met were so nice,
even though they're all happy. I had to look it

(04:07):
up and says Bobby McFerrin from Jamaica. Now he's from
New York. Don't worry, be happy. But that's basically the attitude.
Yeah I'm on and they're all saying, yeah, I'm on
all the time.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
They love having tourists down there. They braid your hair
for you.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
No, they didn't do that.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Well, I'm so glad you had a chance to do that.
Welcome back to thank you Radio and working Plumbing. Great
to have you back. And Snow, that was bizarre of Snow.
