Memories of Barbados.

Enjoy this entertaining story of an authentic rogue who is an adventurer at heart and an all-around sport with an over-developed spirit of fun.  With his parents, Les and Muriel, Rex Wotton ran the West Coast Watersports center at Coral Reef hotel. It was just a short walk from Settlers Beach. They took hotel guest diving and on sailing trips along the coast. He was a professional seaman trained by the Royal Merchant Navy in all matters of navigation, and marine work. Rex Wotton was one of the most unforgettable Rogues you would ever meet. His sense of fun and sharp wit surrounded every scenario. He was independent at an early age and often took off for days at a time, to camp along the banks of Joes' river . He built campfires from coconut husk and twigs and cooked his catch with breadfruit, wild okras, plantain, and edible vines. He ate mangoes, and local berries like fat pork, and sea grapes, that grow along the beach.

Once, when a person splashed a beverage at him, he quickly threw the cold water of a wine cooler over their head. When mocked by a comedian who made a cheeky remark about him, Rex repaid the put-down by taking away the comics' famous green bowler hat. Right past security and the doorman, he marched with a provocative air and his beguiling smiling chuckle.

It was his manner, he did not allow much pass him and typically answered the rudeness with a dual measure of the same, but it was packaged in charm and style. He seldom displayed annoyance, but it was waiting when needed.
