#Catch22 Northpoint

[bajanfun]

Sunday January 9

Today was adventure day as we headed north for lunch at Catch-22.

With a 12:30 reservation in hand we left GH at 11:30, anticipating a 45 minute drive and allowing extra time for wrong turns.

We headed straight up the ABC to St Lucy and arrived precisely at 11:45. No wrong turns were taken, though a shortcut out of St Lucy was missed.

We were the only guests when we arrived, but the small restaurant was full by the time we left. Three of us had the fish cutter, which was mackerel and the other two had the burger. Both dishes were very good. Initially there was confusion about the type of fish that would be served, and indeed a promise of flying fish was made and then broken. In any event all meals were tasty and worth the drive.

Next, we ventured over to North Point as we were in the neighbourhood. The swells were up and the crashing against the rocks was worth seeing. Gayle spoke with a young lad who told her that his family owns the land adjacent on the east side and that they intend to build soon. The view would be great but they have chosen a spot about as far away from everything as possible. 

We returned to GH via Speightstown and the west cost. All was eerily quiet. There simply don’t appear to be many tourists here this year. We noted that Cin Cin and The Cliff appear to be closed. Further research indicates that both are permanently closed.

We elected to stay in and had a simple meal of spaghetti. After dinner was cards and then bed around 10.
