Fame spoils everything...........

Kirstin and I were planning on spending a quiet night at home...........then, up drove our new BFFLs from Colorado. We know their names but on advice of counsel we won't publish it until they arrive safely back home. "Let's go to happy hour !!!" OK, sounds like a plan. I changed out of the dirty shirt I was wearing and put on a different dirty shirt (just to keep up appearances). 

Happy hour was fun. The Germans aboard the Amel next to us joined in, and a riotous time was had by all........until Janti got weird.

Let's rewind. Humble Janti........starts piling conch shells in the shallow bay.........makes an island.......builds a bar on it............appears on Anthony Bourdain "No Reservations" show on travel channel. That was "old Janti".

Problem is that "Janti-wood" has gone celebrity-psycho on us. He stops the light reggae tunes in the middle of Happy Hour and starts a monologue (via the sound system) where it's part Rasta sermon, part Eminem rap..........."the world would be so empty without me".

There was almost a brawl when Janti took credit during his speech for building the smallest wind powered island in the world. There are 8 guests on Happy Island at that moment. What were the chances that one of those guests is a very famous British cartographer and cruising guide publisher ? After he corrected Janti (his island is actually the 2nd smallest) it got tense. Then the music started again. 

I liked the old Janti better..............as far as the "Janti-Lama" ? You can keep him. Gotta go now...........Roderick is making his conch delivery.
