Hi there,

We woke up to pretty awful weather yesterday at Cayo Vivaro. So we all decided to stay put and have a "Maintenance Day". The weather is much better today so all 6 other boats in this section of the rally have departed together and we are heading towards Roatan. We may stop at the island of Guanaja, 30 miles east of Roatan as the winds are fairly light and we are sailing quite slowly. We will decide when we get there.

Will update when we arrive and get settled in.

Best Wishes,

J&G
