The party is slowly winding down, one last potluck tonight before we all move on. The hurricane season passed with no real storms and none in view. Most of the folks that hang here do so at the insistence of their insurance companies, and that ends Nov 15.


We will stay until the end of the month and then head back out to Utila and the rest of the Bay Islands of Honduras. We picked up a fiberglass lancha locally made and a new 15 hp Yamaha 2 stroke and are stocking the larder with cat food and filling the freezer. I must say that the Rio Dulce is a lovely place to pass some time, the Guats are delightful and the gringoes are crazy as loons, the water is sweet and easy on the boat and fun to swim in, and the local markets pretty much have what you need.


The general plan is to slowly head south through the islands toward Panama. The coast of Nicaragua and Costa Rica are mostly isolated mangrove swamps with very few attractions so most just pass them by.
