Quoted message said:My friend Terri is out of town, when she comes home I will ask her about
the Yacht Club. She taught at a university in Montego Bay for 7 years,
so she still keeps up with local news.
I'd love to hear the news. I'm sure the island has changed drastically
since I was last there. Last time I was there we were strongly *advised*
not to venture into Kingston. As badly as I wanted to go into Kingston I
heeded the advice that was offered to me. Apparently there was a great
deal of unrest at the time. I became bored with Ocho Rios very quickly.
The staff at the Montego Beach Hotel was a scream and I had a lot of fun
with them, especially at their local hang outs.

The political unrest is focused in Kingston (riots over fuel tax, etc).
The people are poor, but a handful of citizens have access to money, via
corruption, misappropriation of funds, illegal drug sales, bribery, etc.
My last visit to Jamaica was 4 months ago, nothing has changed. I love
Jamaica, so I will keep going back. I even got married there, once.
