Rogues' Memories of Adventures in Barbados.

This is a humorous story of an outrageous and quixotic guy who had an excellent spirit of adventure and a ridiculous spirit of fun.  Rex Wotton ran the West Coast Watersports shop at Coral Reef hotel, just up the beach from Settlers Beach. The shop took hotel guest diving and on sailing excursions around the coast. He was an expert seafarer trained by the Royal Merchant Navy in all matters of navigation, sailing, diving, explosives, and marine work. Rex Wotton was among the most enchanting Rogues in Paradise. He had a woderful sense of fun and used it to win over every situation. Sailing to St. Vincent with a friend at age 11 testifies to his sense of adventure. He encouraged all to join him in pranks and daredevil acts, making it seem safe, easy, and a joy. Often reckless, he took extreme but calculated risks.



As a child, he would set off on his own to commune with nature: Leaving home with simply the bare necessities, pants, shirt, shoes, Swiss army knife, a Wide rim hat, and little else, he lived off the land: He sheltered among trees, caves, and rocks, which he blanketed with bush and debris, making a roof with palms and banana leaves. Banana leaves have many usages. Rolled up around food, they serve as a container for cooking over a fire. They make an excellent surface to serve up a meal, and can be used as a shade and a cover on which to lie down.
