Will a memorial be held again this year for the fishermen who lost their lives at sea?

We have just been contacted by Kory South stating they are now in the process of organizing the 2nd Annual Tribute to Those Lost at Sea.

This memorial service will be held at Sunset Resort & Villas on March 10 starting at 7:00 p.m.

There will be a fish fry with fried fish, fish tea and bammy for sale for $250 JA. All proceeds from this will go into a special fund to help sponsor a monument to be placed at The Fisherman's Coop in Calabash Bay.

If you would like to contribute to the monument fund please contact Kory South at wahoo@cwjamaica.com or call Sunset Resort & Villas at 876-965-0143.

Help us to construct a lasting tribute to so many of our community members who have lost their lives at sea.

No major problem with the design.
Just two suggestions:
- Have the slab with the names shaped like a scroll;
- Make it large enough so that it can accommodate additional names, in the heart breaking event that there are more to add in the future.

Just to give you more information. The first meeting regarding the constructing of the Fisherman's Memorial Monuement was held a few days ago. We are currently accepting sketches for the design of the monument. The cut-off date for the acceptance of the design is June 14. Our goal is to unveil the monument at the Hook 'n Line Fishing Tournament held in October.

If anyone would like to make a donation towards the construction of the monument, please contact Kory South at 876-965-0743 or wahoo@cwjamaica.com.

For submission of a design, please email the design to treasuretours@cwjamaica.com or call Rebecca at 876-965-0126 to arrange where to drop the design sketch off.
