It is the morning after our second night. We are motor sailing, mostly motoring, as we have little to no wind. While it would be nice to sail, it is great that the seas are calm and we have some cloud cover so we aren't too hot either. In fact, it's downright cold at night...must be in the 70's (low 20's)somewhere! I have to put on a jacket! We wanted to meet up with Hooligan (Tim and Paula), who we'd crewed for through the canal a couple of years back. However, if we stop where they are we won't meet up with Dan and Lorraine (Zephyrus) before their son arrives. I know I would be hard pressed to socialize with friends if I were supposed to be entertaining/spending time with one of our kids...so, we'll have to catch up with them next season.
We hope to spend at least 2 weeks in the Roatan area, before we head into Rio Dulce. We have some extra work to do, on Fortuitous this year, if we want to keep her looking good. Besides the regular lay-up, we'd like to do a couple coats of varnish and I'd like to sew some toe rail covers and a sunbrella cover for the companionway. That will take some time, so we'll need to be in a little earlier than we'd like. However, we're in a good cruising ground for next year as Mexico, Belize, Honduras, and Cuba are all waiting nearby.
