Crop Over 2011 Review: Limerz Cruise

Hands down the best fete/party I attended the whole two weeks I was in Barbados and Grenada (I wore the wristband all the way through Labor Day weekend). The pictures I have don't even fully capture the time that I had. Before I get into that I have to shout out Chris the promoter. He answered all my email questions promptly, allowed me to Western Union my ticket money to him, and personally hand delivered my tickets to me (I couldn't even explain to him where my guesthouse was but he found it). Chris also made sure we had a ride to the afterparty and made small talk on the road Kadooment Day (talk about good customer service). Chris you are the best! Keep up the great work!
THE EVENT:

I must say the day of the cruise didn't start out so well for me. I woke up early, was running through the streets of Bridgetown looking for tights that match my skintone (more on that later), and was having a hard time picking up my Cohoblopot tickets at Cave Shepherd. When I finally arrived to the pier where Limerz Cruise was leaving from I found myself surrounded by more people than I was prepared to deal with and the only breakfast they had left was ham cutters (think ham sandwich). I was hungry (I am another person when I am hungry and she's not so nice) and I don't eat ham so I chocked down the bread and waited to board my boat. As they started to organize boarding among the 5 catamarans the rain started to fall. By the time I got on my boat it was POURING. Water was coming in the boat, people were getting soaked, and I was ready to go home.

Those gray skies soon gave way to RAIN!

Then I was handed this and everything changed:

The cup that changed everyting...

Every time try to explain to people what made Limerz Cruise the best (this usually stems from questions in regards to the tattered wristband on my right hand) I am at a loss for words. How you can explain just the perfect mixture of positive vibes: an intimate crowd (about 50 people per boat), great dj that was spinning everything not just "Jones and Wuk Up", two bartenders that kept your cups full, views of Barbados from a catamaran, the freedom to do WHATEVEVER you wanted (the best vibes were on the top of the boat), competition between the other boats (the BLACK boat was the BEST hands down. Until this day, more than a month later, I can not pin point what exactly made Limerz Cruise the best but it is a definite must do if you find yourself in Barbados for Cropover.
