A DAY AT THE BEACH


Meghan's last request before leaving the following day was to have a nice, relaxing day at the beach - we all happily obliged.

SCOOTER DAY


We rented scooters for the day to check out Roatan. We drove from the top of the island (as far as the paved roads would take us) to the bottom. It was a perfect day for the trip.

After coffee, cinnamon buns & opening presents we went for a Christmas Day dive - back in time to put the turkey in the oven. What a great way to spend the day!!

STREET FOOD NIGHT, WEST END, ROATAN


Matthew suggested we do a sampling of all the street vendors - it was "delicioso"!! We walked from food vendor to food vendor sampling their fare. It was great - why were we the only gringos???

BACK IN THE RIO DULCE


We are now back in the Rio Dulce after our 2 weeks of language school in Antigua, Guat. It takes a week to re-commission the boat, that is, to get it from out of the water to into the water. The bottom has to be sanded & painted, the topsides have to be waxed, solar panels put up & sundry other chores. Once in the water, there's at least another weeks worth of work, such as putting sails on, doing the bright work, stainless polished, water maker running, etc. etc. We enjoy our time anchored off Monkey Bay & meeting up with old friends as we prepare to head off to our first destination which is Roatan, Honduras, a 24 hour sail.
