Roatan, Calabash Bight



We left Utila last Saturday and sailed over to Calabash Bight near the eastern end of Roatan, a distance of about 40 miles....for you non-sailboaters that is an all-day trip. It is really true that cruising is "fixing your boat in exotic places." We have been out now for less than 3 weeks and already we have had generator problems( exhaust leak requiring finding someone to weld a part) and I have had to rebuild the toilet pump.Oh well. Part of the deal.

This picture is taken from the house of our friends, Mark and Lori who are cruisers who have settled down here on Roatan and have a small marina. They had a Super Bowl party and we all had a great time.Mary and I even won a little money!

We will probably stay here for a week or so before we move on. There are many good anchorages on the south coast of Roatan and we're not sure yet where we go next.We will not go too far because our plan is to stay in the Bay Islands until we return to the Rio Dulce late next month.
