Fri, 18 Mar.
didn't sleep very well last night, so slept in until 9. stopped at 2 restaurants and got 2 more donations :) then went to the Marine Park and finished my phone number board. Grazzia mentioned that she liked colors, .... so it was colorful :)
i met Marti going the other way, on my way going home. we agreed to meet at 3pm and snorkel out to 2 new sailboats she saw, that were anchored by the Blue Channel, .... still working on our trip to Cayos :)
so we snorkeled out again ... first thing we saw were 3 Lionfish, here's 2 small ones.
that stretch between the beach and the reef that i talked about the other day, is about a 10-15 min snorkel one way ... it's a ways out there. neither of them were on board, so we snorkeled the Blue Channel a bit. we ventured into the Channel this time ... it's actually a channel between the reef ... not sure if it is a natural channel or a man made one. here you can see the wall.
and i did see something new again today ... a very large grouper ... a Tiger Grouper, he was hanging out on the ledge ....
Marti was getting cold so we headed in where the water was shallower and warmer. came across this Sea Cucumber. they are usually pretty ugly and boring looking. but this one was a pretty reddish-brown.
saw this small Smooth Trunkfish.
and a resident Baracuda.
a nice healthy looking Brain Coral.
a picture of the reef and fishes.
other than that, nothing too exciting. went home, got cleaned up and found Marti at a bar visiting with the 'cruisers' that we met the other day on their boat. ...still no one going to Cayos :( watched another spectacular sunset while we were there.
then we headed for The Sundowner ... which has become the regular meeting place by now.
Patricia and Ron were there, and Philia was also there ... WITH the little abused Puppy from the Clinic! and what a heart-warming sight that was! she was just a happy little pup. ... she had named her .. Chiquita. and what am AMAZING transformation. this little girl was alive and well. she was so happy, you could see it in her eyes ... like she had just been reborn!
... she was walking/running around, pulling on a towel, so full of energy. an amazing recovery and a wonderful happy ending.
the change in one day of a little treatment and a lot of LOVE was astonishing! Philia is wanting to find her a good home. we're all betting that she won't be able to part with her.
Marti went home for dinner, and i went to a little place i'd tried several times before, but they were either closed or out of food. i was the only one there and talked with the man/chef. they had Hogfish and he would prepare it however i wanted it. ....just grilled with butter/oil and garlic. it was a nice large fillet and it was WONDERFUL. the best meal i've had on Roatan... hands down! ...mashed potatoes, green salad with home made balsamic dressing, and REAL french garlic bread ... not a piece of unhealthy white bread with 'something' on it. :) it is another 'find' like HotSpot in Utila, ...small, out of the way, wonderful place, that no one knows about.
after dinner i headed for home and stopped at Ronnie's Barefeet Bar and listened to Bobby, play some Blues. i guess you can see why i enjoy this band, .... brings back memories .... doesn't he remind you of someone ?????
i sat out on the dock and watched the almost full, almost Super Moon; then home to bed.
