After leaving Barbareta we sailed back to Roatan and went into Bodden Bight, home of Jonesville, Roatan and more importantly, the Hole in The Wall Bar which is pictured at right.It is accessible only by water and has become a cruiser favorite over the years.
The food is good and Bob, the owner, is extremely hospitable. We anchored just off the restaurant and were able to use his wifi signal for internet access.Jonesville is primarily a working village with shrimping being the main livelihood and it is the home of a sizeable fleet. The homes are built on stilts above the water along the shore.
We were able to take the dinghy east from here all the way to Calabash Bight and west to Caribbean Bight. The canals were mangrove lined with mangroves forming an overhead canopy for almost the entire length. The water was crystal clear and just beyond the canals ,to the south, is the fringing reef
that borders the entire south coast of the island.From here we will make our way the few miles west to Parrot Tree marina. Mary will fly out on the 9th to take a break and play with the grand-kids. She is also having some dental problems that need to be attended to.
