The story about the boats are true and no embellishments. I think it was 2005. River was staying at Point Village in Negril as usual. On went on a 3 week bender of rum and females. One morning at 2 in the morning he past out somwhere close to Hedonism. He woke up and stumbled down the beach. He could hardly stand let alone walk. He wanted to get down close to bamboo rootz a local bar. He came to one of the resorts who had a yacht docked to the beach head. He untied it and went aboard. He starts it up and just leaves with it.
He took it to Bamboo Rootz to meet a Ganja connection. So he messes around with her a little bit and he forgot about the boat. Some how he ended up back at the resort passed out in a hammock. He awoke to 3 Police man asking him where he had been the night before. He told them straight up "No idea". 2 of the police knew who River was. They were like" are you sure River". At this point Riv's head was all mush, he was not thinking straight. The cops walked away, no more questions asked.
3 days later his fav. hat (a beat up Rasta Tam) was left on the front desk of the resort with a note attached to it. Note said, "we thought you might like to have this back Capt. River". He left it on the yacht. LOL. Nothingeles was ever said. After that the name River was sealed in folklore.
You see why I write about him
