Bay Island Honduras

November 14 2008. Once we were out of the bay and headed around the point we past numerous bays that resembled large Kathy's Coves at Aubry. The mist was stating to burn off and the sun streaked through it with shots of gold. A pod of dolphins joined us this morning and did their usuall dance in front of the bow. We arrived in the Island of Utilla on flat blue seas. Beautiful!Seventeen miles away to the south the mounians of the mainland jut up into the air . They are so massive you can see them on a hazy day from the island. Entering into the East Bay was relativily easy. It is wide open with 50 ft of water under us in the entrance. The harbor is a halfmoon shape with fairly new and colorful buildings dive shop and resturaunts. After setting the hook we went into the town for dinner. While strolling along we met up with a couple we met in the Dulce. Richard and Gerra are on a catamaran from Holland. The island is a scuba divers playground with over 60 dive sites from shallow to deep dives with massive coral walls,shipwrecks and whale sharks. Gil and i walked the town edge for about 3 hours. The primary busness here is tourism. All the supplies come from the mainland. English is spoken here and meals and beverages are relatively cheap. The money is the Lemperes, 1 dollar gives you 18 Lemps.During our lunch on a balcony restuarnt we met Dicky. A nice fellow from Texas, his parents immigrated from Honduras before he was born. He came here to the island to dive and meet relatives he had never met.
