Sunday, April 22. I awakened just after midnight with the wind howling. It was blowing a steady 25 kts and topping 35 kts in gusts from the NW. We had swung around and were now closer than I liked to a nasty looking bank of coral. We had about 50-60' of good water behind us and the anchor was holding well with no signs of dragging. We had set it well, put out 100' of chain, the kellet, another 20' of chain to be sure the kellet stayed on the bottom even with a good pull, and the bridle. I decided that it made more sense to stay put and trust our ground tackle than to try to move in the pitch black and find a better place to anchor. It was a good decision. The wind howled all night, mixed at times with rain (good, I hate the taste – or lack thereof – of RO water. Some rain will help.) I was tired enough that I slept well anyway. By morning, it was still blowing in the low 20's but the rain had stopped. After breakfast, we did pick up and move to a safer location, dropping the anchor precisely in a spot of sand. Deb is real good at that. I go slow and tell her to drop when she is directly over it – I cannot see it then – and when I hear the chain going out, I quickly reverse to stop the boat in that position. Works well. We set it down just as before. If we drag, everyone in the anchorage is going to drag and so they will still be the same distance behind us – no worries. Liz really want to go over to Bonacca to get a SIM card for her modem. She thought the stores were open until noon on Sunday and was worried they would not be open Monday and didn't want to wait that long for internet. I could have waited. But since they were going, I said I would go too and we could take dink because he is drier (bigger tubes, sits higher) than theirs. The trip was probably a mile each way and since it was all in the lee of the main island, by hugging the shore we made it fine and even fairly dry. In town we found several stores that sold time for Tigo (the local cell phone company), but none that sold the SIM cards or the “sticks” (modem – apparently you need to buy a Tigo stick as their cards will not work in generic sticks – sort of a revers locked modem. Anyway the stick comes with 1 month of free internet and costs just about the same as a month service, so no big deal.) To get them, everyone agreed we needed to go to Miss Angie's and she was closed until tomorrow. Oh, and by the way, there is NO holiday tomorrow. Everything will be open as normal. I did find the beverage distributor and bought Deb some more diet coke so the trip wasn't a total loss. It was a lazy afternoon. I spent quite a while on Albatross talking about Belize – where they are headed next. Albatross is an Island Packet 38 with husband, wife, and two pre-teen boys on board. Very nice people. We had met them briefly in Bocas and then again in Providencia. I promised to give them my stick with our old website on it for more on Belize and also loan them my cruising guide to Honduras for a few hours to read about here and Roatan. Back on Always, I laid in the hammock and finished “Sphere,” my next to last Michael Creighton book, and then enjoyed a home brew. I must really thank both Shary & Luke. Shary for initially turning me on to Dogfish Head 90' IPA and Luke for getting me started brewing a clone of it. Now I enjoy one most days. I brought two cases of it with us and one is almost gone. The beer in Columbia was nothing special. I liked Columbia Club the best, but never felt the urge to buy a case to have on board. There are four Honduran beers. I have only tried one and it was OK, but not worth buying a case of. I'll try the others a bottle at a time and see if anything is worth buying in quantity. I still have a third case of home brew (an English Bitters) and more Balboa from Panama so I am not running short, I just like to try the local brews and see if I find something interesting. So far, not so much.
