| The picturesque Martin's Bay in St.John Parish, island of Barbados W.I |
The plans were made and we were not turning back.Thursday August the 22nd day of 2013 members of our esteemed society assembled at Martin's Bay in St.John parish for a day of recreation, relaxation and the best
red snapper in Barbados.
After commandeering a table (we actually shared it with a gentleman who was sitting at another table but, as he had brought it out, sought his permission and a treaty was quickly brokered...) we quickly laid out what victuals we had and sought about acquisition of the famed
red snapper, this would assist us in our disposal of the
rumbullion in our possession.
Sadly we would discover that such a host had descended upon the bay, the supply of
snapper had been plundered and a wait exceeding 2 and a half hours would ensue should we wish to continue the aforesaid pursuit. With a grumble emanating from lower than our mouths we reluctantly left the picturesque setting behind but not before doing the following as seen in the several 1000 words that follow:
 |
| Wiltshire , Grant , Maycock and Kareem in search of snapper! |
 |
| The aforesaid victuals...rumbullion in the midst! |
 |
| The snapper plundering host which engulfed the bay!...evidence of the snappers which met demise at their hands spill over! |
 |
| Members of our esteemed society from left to right: Layne,Wiltshire, Maycock, Grant, Bynoe and Barker. |
 |
| A fresh catch...but alas no snapper to be found! |
 |
| Never one to be easily daunted a smiling Maycock leads the way to the community in which would find Q, pork and a cure for the rumbullion! |
Finding Morning Glory in the afternoon turned out to be just the solution to our rumbullion disposal adversity. In that community, the consumption of pork, poultry and other staples allowed those of us able-bodied and willing souls, to lay the daunting spirit of rumbullion to rest (I wish to exonerate the following esteemed and upstanding members from the aforementioned...to the best of my recollection...sadly little can be recalled of the actual exorcism). Liquid encouragement resulted in attempts of rhythmic, coordinated movements by at least two members of our society...they had a ball...no photo evidence exists of this!
Thus the plans made were duly executed to the mutual enjoyment of all members of the society engaged in the exercise. I entreat those upstanding members who reneged to grace us next occasion.
