Black River called and we answered...

Len and Casey heading down to the beach to hop in Richards boat.

Len loading boat, Richard at motor.
We are headed to the Black River to look for crocodiles and to eat some fresh crab!

Headed out from shore - La Casa Duna - our pad in the background.

Richard (standing), Len (seated) - in the far background... the famous Pelican Bar.
The Pelican Bar... it's a shack/bar/shack/bar/ definitely... SHACK...
in the middle of the ocean on a sand bar :)

Pelican Bar... (not really a shack!!!)
Coolest place near Treasure Beach to sip a Red Stripe... if they hadn't run out!

Black River welcomed us with this crocodile cooling itself

This fatty-pa-tatty was standing it's ground... wish we had a live chicken to throw it!
(apparently that's what the guides toss out to the crocs for a show - ack)

Our turn around point on the Black River ride was near a small dock and road that led to a village called Vineyard. We met this young boy (12) here... he jumped into the river from atop this tree... that was so inspiring to us that Casey dove in and I climbed in too!
(no crocodiles near... otherwise we would have been the chickens :))

Casey... I mean Tarzan!
You should have heard his - ahhhh-aaaaaa-AHHHH call...
SEXY!

Ruby and her daughter were at the river doing laundry. I decided to wash my shirt and was laughed at and told - "no mon, you cannot manage this!"
(It did not help that I was trying to slap my shirt against the rocks)
What followed was a 10 minute demonstration from Ruby on how to properly wash a white shirt in the Black River with soap and fabric softener too.
I loved this woman - she knew her stuff!

On a stop back out the River - we stopped at Sister Lou's for a crab snack.

These crabs were small and their meat was served cut up in the shell of it's back.
Delicious ~*

Sister Lou's
This stop allowed us to watch some local kids hand line fishing (not very successfully), eat crab, enjoy a frosty Red Stripe and chat with some other locals!
