Back in Honduras Bay Islands, Utila 1st

Utila is now our check in and check out port for the Bay Islands.  We enjoy the convenience of the location for the Port Captain's and Immigration offices.  We also love how convenient it is to get all the supplies we need in Utila.  It is becoming fast one of our favorites spots.  

I love the coffee shop with a dock for the dinghy and wifi.. 💕

Sunsets are Gorgeous!

Able to get different food and Ice coffee

Plenty of bars/restaurants that have a great view of our home

The Island is small enough that it only takes a few hours to tour it in a Golf Cart.

The roads aren't always the best especially after rains

But they can be fun!

Until you get the Golf Cart stuck.. then it Sucks big time. We recommend renting the  4 wheeler.. not the golf cart unless you stay on paved roads

I thought you would all enjoy seeing how it can really be traveling with us..  

Steve was in a Very bad mood because of this for a few days  hahaha

But once he received the new VHF that a few friends muled to us.. he was on a much better mood. He also got a new tablet. 

I am still working remotely and loving it!

This is a restaurant's dish washing area.. 

These next videos of this awesome resort/restaurant that is amazing.. the restaurant was closed when we went there but we were able to tour the place. 

We love the Jade Sea Horse

We stayed a few weeks in Utila then we headed to French Key Harbor in Roatan.  We will be back in Utila at the end of our 90 day stay in the Bay Islands

Back On The Hook

I am married to a Get ‘er Done kind of man.  He has rushed through his to-do list like a mad man.  I am proud to call him mine.

Let’s see, well we had our 15th year anniversary.  We almost forgot it, but Google Calendar and Facebook reminded us in time to have a bacon cheeseburger over at the Shack.  See I’m a cheap date, sometimes.

We then left Tijax Marina to get back on the hook.  Unfortunately, we discovered we had a stow away.  Yes, a RAT!.  

The next day we hauled out at RAM Marina to have a quick bottom paint job done.  While on the hard we bunked with some friends.  I was hoping that Rat would find his way off the boat or get caught in the trap Steve set for him. But no luck, he actually did get caught once but destroyed the trap escaping.

We were back in the water in a few days and I purchased a cage trap and poison.  It was time for him to be removed off one way or another.  He was getting very brave after destroying the trap.  Our first night back on the hook he ventured out of the engine room across the counter while we were eating dinner.  Let me tell you, that was NOT cool.  I dislike really only a few animals and Rats are one of them. A childhood story thing.  

So got some gloves on, mixed up a combination of refried beans, some chicken off the one I just cooked and poison.  I put it inside the cage and set it.  Went back to eating my own dinner.  Within ten minutes he was in there, except his tail.  UGGG

He ate his dinner then proceeded to attempt to destroy the cage..  

 Sorry had to throw in pics of my GMan

Well I’m sure I will receive an animal cruelty award and I won't get a house sitting job caring for rodents because he was escorted off the boat right then.  Yep into the water.

So he is gone and we have not seen signs of another.  We still are sleeping slightly in fear but it is getting better.

Now we will wait for a nice weather window to sail to the Honduras Bay Islands.  Weather has been pleasant here but wind is coming from the wrong direction.  

Our French kitty is needing our assistance for a few days so that makes it a pleasure to wait for a perfect window.  I am the Boat Diva.. hahahah

Everything is checked off Steve’s list except installing the autopilot. This time waiting will allow him to complete that job. He doesn't seem eager to conquer that job at all.  Maybe reading this will encourage him.

Well that is it for now my friends, remember to please be good to yourself and to Others.
