Back to beach life in Roatan

Roatan has several areas. We enjoy anchoring on the West End for the access to beach. We had enough of green mountains. It is nice ti be able to pick, so later we will check out the other anchorages around the island. 

We had a great passage. Nearly perfect weather, we still had to motor sail. It was just an overnighter. We left Tuesday morning at high tide and arrived in Roatan on the West End side around 24 hours later. 


Schooner did great for her first over night passage. She figured out it was way safer in the cockpit and decided it was okay to use her potty grass even though it isnt in its normal spot. She was a great help when it came to Steve pulling up the anchor. She got to see a pod of dolphins as well. 

It is nice to be back to a place we have already figured out where all the essentials are located. We know how their bus system works. We know where to get the best produce and meats. We can just kick back and relax for this visit. 

Schooner got her first taste of the beach and absolutely loved it. She ran right in with no hesitation and swam like a fish. She played and played. She is just what Steve wanted. He is on cloud nine with his little girl. 

We have a friend flying in for a visit in a few weeks. We will show her around a little then take her on a sail over to check out a small set of islands close enough for a day sail. Until she gets here we will enjoy the beach life. 

I posted a few videoa on youtube and on Saga Sea's facebook page

  1. I love reading your posts and seeing where ya'll are. Schooner looks to be having a great time and will love her life on the water. I was a bit worried during "Patricia" but seeing where you were and are made me feel better that you were not in her path. Enjoy. Love, Jan
    Sorry, but I had to remove the first post, had too many errors in it.

    1. Thanks Jan, I hope all is well with you and the rest of the family. Schooner has become such a fish. She jumps in every time we are at the beach. She just swims around for no reason at all. Love watching her
