Rogues Adventures with Rex Wotton

With his parents, Les and Muriel, Rex Wotton managed the West Coast Watersports shop at Coral Reef hotel. It was only a short walk from Settlers Beach. The center took hotel guest diving and on daytime and sunset cruises along 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 just one of the most charming Rogues one would ever meet. He had an infectious 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 others to share his pranks and daredevil acts, making it seem safe, easy, and a joy. Often reckless, he took extreme but calculated risks.



In his early teens, he would set off on his own to commune with nature: Taking off with just the basic necessaries, trousers, shirt, running shoes, hunting knife, a Panama hat, and little else, he lived off the land: He sheltered amongst trees, caves, and rocks, which he covered with shrubbery and debris, creating a roof with palms and banana leaves. Banana leaves have many uses. Wrapped around food, they serve as a container for cooking over a fire. They create an excellent surface to serve up a meal, and can be used as a shade and a cover on which to lie down.
