I prefer to read about other persons lives it is more interesting. Talk about vicarious living!!<BR/>While living in Jamaica, I worked with the UN system there one of the agencies, UNEP(United Natione Environmental Program) did a study of water quality in Jamaica and found that the water quality in St Ann esp. Ocho Rios is of the poorest. Akin to Kinston Harbour.Here is visible proof. Next time you go to Ochie look at the hillside overlooking the ton and you'll see to large pipes that go from the top of the hill and go underground. those are sewage treatment pipes that go directly into the Oco Rios sea water around Island Village. the water is nice to look at but bacterial activity is rampant.

It's the place I often stop on the way from Kingston to MoBay, clean toilets and devon house ice cream. <BR/><BR/>however, nice as the beach is, it's kinda sad - it used to be used by the fishermen before and now they are all crammed into a small bit to the side... development?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26960971.post-56248423937378731502007-06-21T07:23:00.000-05:002007-06-21T07:23:00.000-05:00Adrian ,Ignorance is surely blissful.

When ships are loading, and in that case that ship was loading up with sugar the water from the ballast is pumped out to balance out the weight. The ship in your photo was loading up with sugar as is normally done at the Reynolds Pier(of James Bond fame). The water way is only there so that Ochie is not overrun with the water coming from the White River.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26960971.post-43335723997231101282007-06-20T21:28:00.000-05:002007-06-20T21:28:00.000-05:00Come to think of it, you do look a lot older than ...Come to think of it, you do look a lot older than what your profile says, then again maybe its me.
