Yes, it is time to head south. This season will be shorter due to a lot of things, but we are getting ready for our 7th sailing season. It is hard to believe we have been doing this for 6 years so far. On Feb. 12 we will fly to San Pedro Sula, Honduras where our favorite driver, Geovanni, will pick us up and drive us 3 1/2 hrs. back to Rio Dulce, Guatemala, where s/v Island Sol, our floating home will be waiting for us.
Charlie is toying with the idea of building a rigid fiberglass dingy to export to the US to sell. Since we had our Colibri (our fiberglass dingy) shipped back to the states for US Coast Guard inspection we need to have another one built before we take off to Roatan, Honduras. So we will be hanging around the "Rio" for a few weeks.
So stay tuned and I will promise to blog this trip and hope to encounter more fun on the "high seas" and also under the sea as well.
Have a lovely trip! I will be sending you my sock knitting updates. I'm looking forward to seeing your blog develop.
ReplyDeleteI'll wave to you across the Caribbean Sea when we get to the Bahamas. Sure, it won't be like the Western Caribbean, but from where we are now, it's the closest warm, foreign port we can legally sail to. I'm packing all our own Mexican/Guatemalan foods so we won't starve. Keep posting and I'll try to do the same!
ReplyDeleteYeah wish we were going to be knitting together and could teach me new things. Always enjoyed our creative time together. I laugh out loud when I think of the time that we came out of the market at chichicastenango and had no idea where we were but luckily I had taken a picture of the corner where the bus would pick us up, and the guy in the tuk-tuk knew exactly where to go. Fun times
