Round the World Clipper Race arrives in Port Antonio

Finally, they’re almost here! The Clippers are expected to arrive in Port Antonio round about midnight tonight and we are all quite excited. At Hotel Mocking Bird Hill we raised the sails poolside this week to welcome the team members and their families who are staying with us and last night we threw a cocktail party for the Jamaica Team, their families and friends. It was a great party -the Jolly Boys sang their hearts out to everyone’s delight and Nick joined then for a couple of sing -a- longs. Barbara had created a couple of cocktails for the event and her Clipper Fizz (rum, Mockingbird’s own homemade orange liqueur’, orange juice, pineapple juice and soda water) was the drink of the evening). Our guests who will be joining the boats tomorrow are enjoying their last day of holiday and relaxation today as work on the boats begins in earnest tomorrow morning.
