There is an interesting style of boat driving here in Honduras. There are lots of small water taxis, personal skiffs and open launches of all types. Most have a good sized outboard for power. Many of the boats do this funky "bounce" as they move through the water. The bow of the boat bounces up and than slams the water in a very rhythmic fashion. It has to be on purpose as some even have a person in the bow helping it gain some altitude by jumping up and down as the boat jumps up and down. It's fun to watch - but kind of crazy. Perhaps it's the on water version of those soupped up cars that bounce up and down and popular in East LA.
As with every country, there are always fun and different things to see. That's why we travel.
The winds have picked up as predicted and are expected to continue to grow over the next few days. We're settled into West End - a good place to sit out strong south easterlies. On the morning radio net - we're hearing it's pretty rolly on the other side of the island - as waves are breaking over the protective reefs.
Michael has put on lots of pictures on the web and even managed to caption many of them. Enjoy.
Happy May Day!
