LIME CAY!!! Love love love it there, and I'm so happy to see that a hurricane hasn't destroyed it!. I haven't been there since 1992 (yes, girl, I'm THAT old) when I was 23-24 years old, but we used to go there almost every time we would fly in from JFK. We stayed at the Morgan's Harbor Hotel right there in front of the restaurant in Port Royal. Pretty sure we took that same boat you guys were on, or one very close to it. lol They would take our entire crew together and stay with us to also cook jerk chicken and rice up at the barbecue area while we tourists played in the water and went snorkeling for conch. We'd go over around 10 AM, swim and lay in the sun for a few hours, have lunch around 1 PM, and then swim and play for a couple more hours before taking a sunset boat ride back to that very same dock in your video where the restaurant is. I have photos of us eating dinner there at night. If we found a conch when we went snorkeling, we could bring it back to the restaurant and the chef there would prepare conch fritters as part of our dinner. So many wholesome, fun, hot Caribbean days and balmy nights with gentle harbor breezes there at that hotel, at that restaurant on the dock, and on Lime Cay right in front of that same barbecue area in the water. So many relaxed people with big beautiful, genuine smiles in Jamaica! The people, the food, the gorgeous water and beaches! There were very, very tough economic times for the people there in the early 90s, so we would ask the hotel employees what they needed and we would bring it to them in our suitcases each time we flew in. We brought things they needed and couldn't afford (toilet paper), really expensive things they didn't need by enjoyed (magazines), and pretty much anything else that could fit in a rollaboard suitcase. They were so very appreciative. From week to week, back then, the inflation would skyrocket even further as the currency dropped in value. It was bad in the US & other parts of the world, too, but even more extreme there. We did what we could. We were flight attendants living in Manhattan, so we were also very poor ourselves by US standards, and barely able to pay for our own apartments, but our currency was more stable. Bittersweet memories about that part, for sure. I think that hotel is now called I live in San Francisco, California now, way over on the other side of the US, and its challenging to get anywhere in the Caribbean from here. I still think back on those simple, fun days at Lime Cay, drinking ice-cold Ting on the sand and looking out into the gorgeous pale turquoise water that was so crystal clear and thinking that my life was too good to be true. You are so awesome for posting a video about this tiny cay before some hurricane washes it back into the ocean forever. We didn't have cell phones back then, and we sure as heck didn't have video cameras that would survive that wet boat ride over and back.
