And then there was one





Well we had a good week before Steve left for his adventure of assisting to deliver a boat from the Western side of Panama to Tahiti.   It was hard not to have a good week. We have the boat at a gorgeous Hotel Marina Resort that has lovely beaches and grass areas. Lots of interesting animals roam this little Island resort. 


Schooner has loved all the physical activities. Balls and Frisbees to run for everywhere. 


Gorgeous blue and teal water


We really cant complain




In the lobby of the resort we have all the wifi we need. Oh and monkey visitors



Monkeys Monkeys Monkeys 


Oh and my plants love the weather



So Steve left on Tuesday for Shelter Bay Panama. He had a 20 hour flight which consist of 2 very long layovers, tis why the 20 hours. Then he took a bus and a few taxis. He arrived right on time. Met the boat just as it was coming into the marina. 


So this is the boat he will be crewing on to Tahiti. There are two others that are in the small fleet going over. He is one of three on this particular boat. Im not sure how many are on the other two boats. I have heard one of the boats has a couple from Kemah Tx as well who have mutual friends. Always cool to see how small the world really is 



While Steve is gone Im supervising a remold job of our sea birth. It will become a couch without loosing all that great storage. Hope to have pictures for you soon


Other than that this is what I will be doing


Oh and this. Lol

Until Next Time

Tied to the dock in Roatan

In preparation for Steve's absence, we docked Saga Sea at Fantasy Island Marina and Resort in Roatan. We dont have a departure date for Steve yet but we will be ready when they call for him.

 Steve celebrating San Jacinto day.   San Jacinto Day is the celebration of the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836. It was the final battle of the Texas Revolution where Texas won its independence from Mexico. It is an official holiday in the State of Texas.

More pictures of our time in Guanaja

Im having some trouble with blogging on my phone still, sorry. 

These are of Steve taking Schooner sailing in the dinghy






My inside plants


Steve working on a project. He rebedded the pedestal in the cockpit but needed access in the quarter birth which is our storage area. 


This is us waiting for our water taxi on the Cay on supply day with the other shoppers. Well the gringo shoppers. Its always an all day thing because you have to wait until the boats are unloaded then the stores are closed for lunch between 12-2. 




Time to Return to Roatan

Well its time to heae to Roatan. Complete some things before Steve takes off to Panama.


As always, we have enjoyed Guanaja. We enjoyed celebrating our friend's, Rosalinda,  birthday.  We spent the day at the beach.


We have spent time with the Holders at Mi Casa Too. Enjoyed Monday night pizza at Hans. Of course the peace and quiet.

Talk to you later

San Andrès to Guanaja

Well I believe we are becoming locals here in the Bay Islands. We are back in Guanaja. We caught a weather window perfectly. We sailed nonstop from San Andres to Guanaja in four days comfortably, which I greatly appreciate.


Besides the sandflies, Guanaja is one of our top favorite places. We love the people and the very laid back island life.  We also appreciate the ease of checking in and out here. Its a great transition place for the Western Caribbean. You have an easy check in and out process with no hassle and you have a relaxing anchorage to unwind after a passage.



We will hang for a week or so and visit with our local friends. Then head for Roatan.




Oh our passage was so smooth. I have a few pictures of a bird stopped for a rest.






I also had a lovely birthday...the big 45. Im enjoying my new phone and megaphone. People better keep their clothes on if they are going to park close to us hahah.
