Today we find ourselves at a remote tropical anchorage on the main land of Honduras, we were just around the corner from a headland called, 'Punta Sal'

After the Beach BBQ and the guests exploration of the area by jet ski the boss suggested that he would like to move on to Belize, after dinner.

This is not such a big deal! Its only 100 miles to the place he wanted to go but we have 30 crew ,10 guests and two boats that need to be cleared out of through customs in Honduras before we can leave and we are 70 miles from the customs house on the Island of Roatan. Good job we have a chopper!

It is not often that we get to use the helicopter like this but when we do it really is awsome! Armed with ships papers, passports and a wad of cash just in case, Hans and I took off from the boat, heading up the coast . 40 minutes later we swooped in to the airport.
Hans did a very slick job of making a dramatic entrance, we slipped on our shades walked smartly accross the tarmac with briefcase in hand, shook hands with the agent who took care of our formalities. It felt like we were in some kind of movie. Glad that I remembered to bring my shades.
