Starting Again

Cat Spring, Texas
December 4, 2016


Time to go again.  While the weather today is cold and rainy, the weather in Rio Dulce, Guatemala is sunny and warm.  Charlie has been on Island Sol now for over 3 weeks trying to get her ready for this season's sailing.  Our "cruising" friends are all returning to their boats and getting ready for new adventures as well.  So my last few days at home are being spent trying to put all the parts and food, that Charlie has ordered for our boat, into 2 pieces of luggage, which I am sure have already gone over the weight limit.

Enjoyed last minute fun with friends, family, and my yoga buddies, I will miss you all.  But the sea calls..... (that was corny!)

Rio Dulce, Guatemala

So 2 bags grew to 3 bags and one was way overweight, but the airlines love your $$$$.  I also threw my back out the day before I left making the trek very uncomfortable.  I had a little bottle of vodka with me to add to some OJ for the trip.  I didn't realize that was against the law...the stewardess told me it was like bringing liquor into a bar, she then told me to put it away and not get it out again....OK..so I put the rest away in my drink...that was a stout screwdriver....but it sure made my back somewhat better.

Charlie met me at the airport in San Pedro Sula, Honduras (now the 2nd "murder capital" of the world) and with our wonderful driver, Giovanni, we made the 3 hour trip back to the Rio.  We met our buddy John at the dock at Bruno's and after dinner made our way in "Solita" (our 14' runabout) back to Island Sol.  It was a beautiful night full of stars and the lake was like glass.  So our new adventure begins for our 5th season....thanks to all the gods for our many blessings.
