The Hog Islands! 13 of 'em. All mostly uninhabited except for fishermen and a few places for divers to stay. We anchored last night at Cochino Grande (hush, dirty girls and you know who you are!) It was a really nice sail to there and took us about 4 hrs. Dinghyed into shore to check it out and found the Plantation Beach Resort....we were going to have dinner there but they have to have at least 4 hrs notice for anyone eating....island time, remember? So, we hiked a few trails, looked around and made it back to the boat before dark. In fact, just in time to see my first sunset in the islands this yr! Very cool night breezes and we cooked some pretty fresh mahui-mahui that my son was kind enough to catch, clean and freeze for me........so with pasta and fish, we had a yummy meal. Thanks matt&josh!!
Watched the stars for a bit and I am not lying when I say I was snoozin' by 9:30! Most of you know I'm a night owl but by the end of a sailing day.........it's nice to feel your bed rocking to gentle waves and sounds of wide open spaces!
Thursday morning, we had coffee and fruit and began the sail to La Ceiba...or as we've been told, if you're local you just say ceiba.......so of course, we're all local and sh-- so we are getting ready to come into the marina at Ceiba!!! It's taken us about 4 hrs to get here and oh what a lovely sail. This one was what the songs are written about........smooth waters, cool soothing breezes, ray catching on the front of the boat with my sophiejane.........and a sky that is so blue it makes you gasp with joy!
