Swim Up Ceversas And Fish Sandwiches....ROATAN

No in room coffee this morning for our lanai awakening session, since the power is off (again). We await the girls starting their morning shift, they can make coffee and breakfast on the gas stove in the lounge. The power goes out every couple days or nights, reducing the shower to a trickle, or at night turning off the fan or AC to create a sweltering sleep session. Such is Roatan!

Karen, mom and I have a fun snorkel adventure from our Land's End ladder. We swim north to the mouth of the next bay where the coral and fish are most abundant with great varieties of both to entertain us. (I am sure we entertain them as well!) We then head south, past our Land's End point of origin and head toward Half Moon Bay. We encounter an intimidating large barracuda, with his mouth open, baring his sharp teeth. We altar our course to give him plenty of water between us.

We swim into Half Moon Bay and climb out of the water on the dock of Half Moon Cabin Resort. Normally an easy task, yet we had to get mom across the low tide shallows, her fear. Karen and I hold each of her hands as she squeals and skims her way over the coral and rocks inches to inch under our bellies and knees. Once on the dock we giggle and laugh plenty of our "well laid plan" gone awry with the low tide.

Safely on land, out from our rash guards come our shoes, out from Mom's cleavage comes a baggie with wet money. We have created the ultimate swim up bar experience at this restaurant on dock over water! Cervesas and fish sandwiches quench our thirst and hunger after our long snorkel adventure.

Having lunch on a dock over the water is dangerous for the fish below! Karen knocks off the jar of toothpicks into the water and has to climb under the deck to pick up sticks, saving the fish from swallowing them and having eternal smiles. With our shoes on, we can now do the short walk back to our Land's End Resort.

Sunset and margaritas at Land's End Green Flash Bar, still waiting to see that elusive green flash!
