The last few days we have been doing major cleaning and re-organizing the boat to make room for our good friends. We are really looking forward to seeing them as its been several years and they are great boat guests. The wind has picked up again and the nice window we expected this weekend to head to Guanaja may be closing – so we'll have to see what our other options are for an Astarte adventure. We thought it would be fun to hit another island and also give us some sailing time and fishing time. When Jim's on board there is always a fishing competition.
On Saturday evening we went to a fun potluck and met some new folks. We enjoyed talking with a couple from New Zealand and a couple from South Africa. The number of boats in the area is slimming down as people are heading to the river (Rio Dulce) or north or south to get out of the hurricane zone. The morning radio nets are getting shorter and shorter and the anchorages are getting emptier and emptier. It seems that there were more boats here at this time last year – but who knows. Its an enjoyable time to be here with great weather and the fish don't go away – so lots to see snorkeling.
Tomorrow we'll get the last minute provisioning completed as well as the final preps and then on Thursday we'll head to the airport to meet them. Back to cleaning! And, oh yeah, chilling lots of beer!
