Last weekend was rainy and cool but the heat has returned. The sun comes up early so the boat starts feeling hot about 10. Randall hired a local guy, Lionel, to help him clean the boat and engine room. They also cleaned and sanded down our fading navy stripe along the cabin top and Randall […]
Last night, we were talking about seeing a Facebook post from a friend sharing that his two teenage boys had just discovered the hilarity of Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s of First” routine. We decided to gather around the computer and share this treat together. Lily rolled on the settee laughing while I admit to a […]
Lily and I had some beach fun today. We started out kayaking but it was a little windy so we turned our efforts to sand castle construction. Lily had apartments, farms, markets, an orphanage and coral-ornamented guard towers. I had promised a full report on our blowing bubbles lessons. However, our lessons have been postponed […]
We have been living a pretty routine boat life this week. Homeschool and computer work at the salon table all morning. A boat chore in the afternoon, like laundry by hand in a tub on the bow. Volleyball or swimming in the late afternoon. Dinner late in the evening, often grilled to avoid heating the […]
Yesterday, we trailed Susie and John around the island as they did their gourmet shopping. John is making sushi for the upcoming island cook-off so sushi supplies were purchased at Bulk Gourmet. We stopped at a small open air carneceria in Coxen Hole for some ground pork and they told the butchers how well their […]

By Tammy and Lily Hello I am a Capuchin Spider Monkey. Some call me “Mono Loco”. Some call me “Hey Give That Back”. Some call me “Shoo Go Away”. Blondie calls me “Baby” in a gentle motherly voice and I like that. I like to sit up in the tree branches and hairless monkey-watch. Some […]
By Lily Fuchs Hello. Everything here is good except the monkeys. They bite, pee on people, steal things like beer, water. fruit punch and snacks. But the baby monkey, he is nice but he peed on me! Snorkeling we saw a huge barracuda and it opened its mouth at us. We got sort of scared […]
Easter Sunday started off rainy on Roatan. There were probably a few postponed egg hunts. We were watching the weather because we had plans to go to Parrot Tree Bay Resort for the afternoon. The sun finally broke through around 1 pm and we dinghied to Brooksy Point to meet up with our volleyball team […]
Whenever you get an invite to visit a sailboat in some foreign harbor, you can expect “the list.” Boat parts are somewhat hard to ship overseas, get lost in transit and, after a long wait, subject to a lot of fees which can be avoided if someone packs them up with a couple of bikinis, […]
