Tiempo, Tigo y Tal vez

It finally looks like we will have (maybe) the weather window for our two day sprint (can you call 5 - 6 knots a sprint?) east on Saturday morning. Just looking at a map you might wonder why we have to go so far off of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to sail south. I'll let Paul explain it better later...but I'll sufice to say large shallow reef and potential pirates! While we have been waiting and at the dock at Fantasy Island Marina, I have to admit we have had lots of fun! Mexican train dominios...chicken foot...3/13...and diving!! Hugo at the raftup at the dive site buoy...Lionfish....Lionfish...
Nassau Grouper...I've tried and tried to put this picture correct side up... Queen Conch....for whatever reason this one too...every time I post it correctly...the blogger turns it sideways...oh, well....

Nassau Grouper again...

Some of our cruising dive group...

Wall color...

More wall color...More of our dive group...

Glasseye Snapper...

More wall color. Now back to Tiempo, Tigo and Tal vez...Tiempo - the weather (addressed above before I digressed into diving pictures). To Tigo which is our internet link! Looking at a calendar you might ask why on Wednesday I'm posting the last of my Roatan diving pictures...and announcing our (hopeful) departure on Saturday?! That be all about Tigo! We signed up for one month...and our month is up tomorrow! I wanted to be sure to get the blog updated as much as I could before we left! We certainly will miss the group that we have gotten to know here...when we return in late April most of them will have moved on too! It is something you get use to as a cruiser...that is what sailboats do! Thank heaven in this day of blogging and facebook we will be able to stay somewhat in contact! And lastly, tal vez...this is for you Denny. I'm calling your "etched in jello"...tal vez. That's "maybe" in Espanol...we will be on our way to Panama maybe early on Saturday morning!! We have met a couple on a boat called Dances with Dragons...they are from Texas and we are looking to be buddy boating east and south to Panama with them...as well as catching up with s/v Lady in Red, leaving out of Guanaja. Dances with Dragons is one of your designs, Bob, a Tayana 42. So...until five to seven days from Saturday...
