Island Potluck And Cook-off
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 […]
Fickle Hearts In Rough Seas
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 […]
Passing the Peacocks on the Way to Cal’s
Fantasy Island has two security gates: one at the main road and one at the bridge. The bridge security post is always manned by a couple of employees who call up to the office if there is anyone wanting in which cannot be confirmed as a guest. The other security post is always empty but […]
Monkey Tail
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 […]
Silly Monkeys and Cool Fish!!

Volleyball Road Trip to Parrot Bay Resort
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 […]
Shiny New Motor Mounts and Pretty Cascarones
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, […]
Semana Santa Begins
Semana Santa starts this week. The week before Easter Sunday is one of the busiest Central American holidays. The hotel is prepping rooms they normally don’t rent and Suzi on the cruisers net reminded everyone this morning to do their shopping today or tomorrow or expect bare aisles. Also on the net, one of the […]
Volleyball Volleyball Volleyball
We returned to volleyball this week. Actually, we call it volleyball volleyball volleyball because that is how Susie announces it during the morning cruisers’ net. Something about her “volleyball volleyball volleyball” call makes us all eager to hit the court for the daily 3 pm game. Susie is also working up a sand volleyball game […]
Fun Animal Excursions
By Lily Fuchs There are three monkeys here at Fantasy Island. The monkeys here are cute. They love to get on people and pull their hair. They also like to bite, so be careful. The monkeys use their wrists instead of their hands to pick up things. The adult monkeys bite hard but the kid […]
