Two helpful street vendors in Port Antonio
The town is worn down, and not only around the edges, but the genuine people and the
scenery quickly won us over. Cruisers can tie up at the easygoing marina or anchor out in
the perfectly protected inner bay, then explore with peace of mind. Port Antonio is the
gateway to the surrounding Blue Mountains, a rugged expanse carpeted by lush jungle
and dotted with red flowers, aptly named Flame of the Forest. We spent a day rafting
down the Rio Grande with the amiable Captain Debbo, who not only taught us how to
pole his thirty-foot bamboo raft, but even indulged us with an hour-long swim call in the
deliciously cool, fresh water. It's a memorable day trip that supports local enterprises in an
environmentally friendly way.
