Roatan Departure Delayed

Well, we went around saying good-byes and announced a departure on the blog and, then, went nowhere. Jerry and Debbie started out for Roatan. We were to catch up the next day but before we got started, Jerry messaged that his windlass was busted. He came back up the river for the fix and needs to wait for the next high tide to exit over the sandbar. So we have a couple more weeks around Rio Dulce since we still would like to travel with Czech-n-mate for this trip.

When we left last August, Lily missed getting a good-bye present from her animal rescue friends Pam and Julia. They kept her little package for her and, thinking we were about to leave again, presented her with such a sweet gift. She got a little black stuff kitty/pillow which has a beautiful hand-braided rug. They also gave her a PAWS medal of honor and an “Certificate of Appreciation” for being an outstanding volunteer. The certificate has a picture of her riding Gus. She is so proud and is making several Rainbow Loom bracelets to sell at their next fundraiser.

Today we took a long, lazy walk into town and took a few photos. Then, it was back to the marina to pick up Molly and Will for ice cream. We also sort of rewarding ourselves today for all the work we did prepping the boat for the Roatan run which didn’t happen.
