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???

AHHH, THE SWEET RIVER

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.
