I’m on a boat ride from Jakes Hotel to The Pelican Bar, a slapdash, ramshackle, barely held together joint that rests on a sandbar nearly a kilometre from Jamaica’s quiet south shore.

The Caribbean is all silver-green and the surf is gently rolling three passengers and a guy who calls himself Captain Joseph. As he steers his small outboard through the surf, a huge Kingfish suddenly leaps from the water, straining all its muscles, and arcs through the warm air. It seems to glide for an eternity as I stare in amazement.
