Still Cruising - Season 9

Hello.  How is everyone?  It's been a long time since I blogged.  2019 to be exact.  Many excuses why, most not worth detailing.  I have missed writing.  I have missed you all.  

But here we are, our 9th cruising season.  Wow!  Can that really be?  

We are currently in Utila, the western most island of The Bay Islands of Honduras, approximately 20 nautical miles off mainland Honduras.  We arrived here February 27, 2022 from Rio Dulce Guatemala.  

We've not been to this particular Bay Island and we were quite keen to see and experience it.  When we came around to the Western Caribbean in 2019, we checked into The Bay Islands at Guanaja, the eastern most island.  We spend a couple of weeks there and then sailed to Roatan, the biggest and most developed of The Bay Islands.  Then we ran out of time and had to skip Utila and head for the safety of the Rio Dulce in Guatemala for hurricane season 2019, 2020 (COVID), 2021.

So far, we are really diggin' Utila.  The people are friendly and genuine.  Things ashore are fairly easy to navigate.  Many business owners who allows us to land and lock our dinghy at their docks.  That is not always the case in places we cruise to.  Easy trash disposal, provisioning, diesel, propane, water, etc....

I am going to keep this first one short so that is all for now.
