OMG! Today was definitely not one of my best day's. Rango was having his Annual All Inclusive Boat Ride, and of course TJJ NY would be the first on board. It's a Sunday, so I pulled out my Sunday best! I was so fly; hair curled and make up fab. We decided to troop it on the subway, but on the way to the train station, rain just started pouring heavily out of no where. And jus so yuh know ... it was all kinda lightening striking ... the works - and no umbrella! My cute outfit is now wet and my curls are flat!!! I'm just livid at this point!! But, I'm a trooper and I didn't let the rain kill my vibes.

I hopped in a cab and headed straight to the pier. This one is definitely for the team. I got there a little late and really appreciated them holding back the boat due to the bad weather we were having, but you know rain don't stop Trini's ... it does only stop crickets!! Turns out, the boat was ram cram jam, even with the storm! I started taking a lil' chip one time. Then all of a sudden I felt like a lonely soul. Where did everybody go? Well food was sharing, so everybody headed to the back of the boat. There was a very nice lady who thought of me and brought me a plate. Thanks luv! That food went down good boy! For real!

The menu had almost everything, even saltfish and provisions. Big ups to the chef, the food was fantastic! With everybody belly full and drinks in hand, the dance start. Back to Basics and Anonymous were the DJ's for the evening, and they rocked the boat ... literally!! The boat was swanky! Everybody was jamming and having ah time. I bounce up a man wining with a cup on his head (photo) ... jokes, yes! Just then meh song start to play, Machel's "Tempa Wine"! I had to thief ah wine for that one. It was just nicness right tru. Yuh cyah get better than this nah! Food, drinks, iron and music - what a fete!!!

Mugfest 5 is the next one right? Sun Aug 27th @ The Boat House. We'll definitely be there! Off to Sugarcane's All Inclusive now...

Toodles, Yana!
