We didn't plan to spend the festive season in two different
countries. It's just the way it turned out. We had intended to move on to Roatan
to stock up before heading for 'Isla' as it's known to cruisers. However, the
weather window seemed OK for moving north between Christmas and New
Year so we took it. Here are our memories of the Christmas Day feast
at the Manati Restaurant, Guanaja where the hosts Clause & Annette kindly
put on a FREE Turkey and Fish meal as they always do each year (bless them)
whilst the visiting cruisers and local ex Pats supplied the 'trimmings' and
desserts.
  The assembled fleet...........
The Tree is up (we are sure it's been
there all year!)
 The turkey arrives, one of two........the Mahi
Mahi's on the table........and the 'Admiral's Nut Roast looks magnificent
trimmed with carrots!
  Pre-dinner drinks and posing before we get stuck
in.......
  'Cruiser's' table although there were not enough
chairs for some reason and we had to share one.....then it was up for the
desserts
Needless to say the food was absolutely delicious and we had a
thoroughly enjoyable Christmas Day feast with the best of company.
As we found last time we were in Guanaja the 'no see-ums' are
to be feared on this island. There were very few of us that were not affected by
these vicious bugs that are the size of a spec of dust. They can leave you with
welts on your body the size of pennies making you scratch like a dog with fleas.
Absolute purgatory! It was time to get out. So, after only six days
in Honduras, on December 26th we cleared Immigration and obtained a Zarpe
for Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
