| The calm before the storm - Sapodilla Lagoon |

We joined Renate & Jim on Emerald Seas up at Pelican Cays after the Feuers left. The snorkeling was great there and we enjoyed the little bar/restaurant run by a couple with a 2 year old daughter. Afterwards we went back to Placencia to fill up with provisions and water before hunkering down in the Sapodilla Lagoon while a storm front came through. This is a totally protected and lovely spot with lots of room. Nine boats joined us there and we all socialized. One night we had a dinghy raftup - all nine dinghies tied up and anchored sharing drinks and appetizers.

Several boats hosted drinks or meals on board including ourselves the first night. Our friends on Madcap joined us as well as David & Carmen on "Expectations", and Peter & Mary on "Rendez Vous". Once the storm arrived we spent a couple of days snug in our cabins until it blew over. It was windy and poured rain but we were protected from any waves. After that we went up to Dangriga and checked out of the country. After a quiet night at South Water Cay, Emerald Seas and ourselves did a lovely overnight to Utila, Honduras. Friends Imke & Ulrike on "Eiland" joined us at Glover's Cay and "Expectations" followed us later that morning. The seas and winds were calm (just enough wind to keep the sails up) and traveling with other boats made me feel so safe!
So - now we're in Honduras - arrived 2/27.
