April 20th

We are here in Roatan, Honduras now. Wow, what a sleigh ride last night. We had nothing of a sail up and still couldn't keep it under 5 kts. We have 20 kts of wind in the anchorage, but no fetch. It was great meeting up with Dan and Lorraine after 3 years. They came out to the entrance to the anchorage in their dinghy and guided us in. That was good because the light wasn't good and the markers were crappy too. Then, they came back and picked up our laundry and later took us to town so we could shop and check in, then back to the boat. What great friends!! Looks like we'll probably be cruising with them next year as they want to do some of the same things we do. We are sure glad to be here! We don't like the passages, only the being here. I'm thinking, at least right now, nothing goes to weather like a 747...maybe that's how we'll see OZ and NZ and maybe even the South Pacific.
