I know its cold at home, sorry to say we have anchored in a paradise of small islands and cays off of the SW corner of a small Island called Utila.

The owner of the boat is once again on board so life is at an increased pace.
This picture was stolen from google earth which is a part of my navigation plan these days. There are few charts of this area and the ones we have are not at all acurate. On the way here today from Roatan we had to launch the tender to go ahead of us relaying depth information. This was after a couple of scares where the chart was telling us that we should have, 60 meters beneath us and on several ocasions it came up to 8 meters or less. This is still plenty of depth for us but the information was all together a bit random. It is however beautiful and we arrived in a good place to anchor without hitting any reefs, so well done us.
We are off soon to Guatamala, Belize and Mexico.
