Looking for Eddie Murphy

I am so mad at myself for not remembering. My family and I cruised on the Carnival Dream on 8/18/2012. One of the ports was Roatan but because the water was rough we docked in Coxsen (sp?) instead of the regular dock. My plan was to get off the ship and find a guide for the day. When we got off all the "guides" were there as I guess they were told of the new dock the Dream would be at. There we hired a guide whose real name to me is long forgotten. He said everyone called him Eddie Murphy because he looked like him. I have to say the resemblance wasn't all that great. But as we drove the island we weren't stopped at a light where people were not calling out to him as Eddie Murphy. We felt like everyone knew him on the island and that we were with royalty. We also asked for him to take us to a place that had a beginner scuba diving course for my son and great snorkeling for me and hubby, drinks, food, bathrooms and a non crowded beach. I wanted to go to west bay but he told me this would be better. I think he took us to West End and it fit the bill perfectly. At the end of the day after we were back in port my son hung out with him and wound up tripping and dislocating his knee. Eddie made sure he got back on the ship (I guess that big tip didn't hurt either). I am trying to get in touch with him because we are planning another cruise and I want to make sure he is available for when we go. I know this is a shot in the dark but does anyone know the guide I am talking about and how to get in touch with him? I really could kick myself for not writing down the facts and documenting. Little did I know that years later we would all still talk about this port and guide with such affection. If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

There's a picture of him on www dot travelbuddy dot com / Roatan-Island-Travel-Guide / photos (spelled this out as sometimes CC **** sites, but google "eddie murphy" Guide in Roatan). He's wearing a polo with a logo and has a badge hanging from his neck. With a good photoshop skills you might be able to sharpen these ad find some details.

 

Don't confuse with Murphy's Tours Roatan. Not the same person.

My photoshop skills are non existent but I did put a message out to the woman who posted the picture. Maybe she knows how to get in touch with him. If we ever go back we would only want Eddie with us-he's like family. LOL How did you ever find that photo?
