Hiking Cochino Grande

             Several mornings later we decided to hike one of the trails on the island.

Cayos Cochinos

        This might be the most beautiful place we have been to yet.

Heading to Roatan

        Friends of ours, Richard and Bethany, from Key West had planned a trip to meet up with Bryan and Angie on Stray Cat in Roatan.  The weather was working out for us to sail there and meet so we did just that.

Utila, Honduras

        We arrived the morning of June 3rd and checking into the country was easy and could be completed by just the captain (my favorite).  We took a small nap to recover from the overnight we had just completed.  We hadn’t done one in quite awhile so we were a bit rusty, and sleepy, from the three hour sleep increments.  We woke up refreshed and ready for some town exploration.

29 and Counting

        The morning of my 29^th birthday I was at the helm of my own sailboat watching the sun rise over the mountainous landscape of Utila, Honduras. As the world became bright around me I reflected on previous years, past birthdays, and how I felt about where and who I was after 29 years of life.

Farewell Thoughts from the Sweet River

   
    Conor, in all his Captain wisdom and responsibility, is in the town of Livingston checking us out of the country and I am moved to a quiet moment of reflection of our time spent in Guatemala during my last hours:

Texan Bay

        Gualby and Salty Dog left the Rio Dulce on June 2^nd. We spent the night in Texan Bay on our way out of the river because it is the closest, and safest, spot to Livinsgston, where we needed to check out the next morning.
