Don-
to answer some of the many similar statements that you have made, lets look at them in order....
After a thread was
already running on SCUBABoard, you decided to begin a new thread reprinting and quoting the entire body of the rather broad and vague State Department Travel Warning, instead of just giving the hotlink as was done in the other thread that pre-dated your duplicate. Some may view it as a waste of bandwidth, but maybe you just wanted everyone to share in the wealth of your investigative research. Thus you began that post:
DandyDon:
I suppose this thread will attract critics who will suggest that there is nothing to worry about and that I alarm people needlessly by posting
Since there are no tropical storms to "
Look At" and the Meet & Greet section is all updated, you allotted some computer time to start another new thread on a duplicate subject, Okydoke.
Yeah, it's too bad that you can't ask a reasonable question about a touchy civil situation in a foreign country you plan to visit without getting blasted.....If it's bad for business, many just don't want it asked about nor known. Then you start to suspect the info you get even here when it is so biased... don't let the critics of your question be a bother; ask all you want, hope for reasonable answers, and click the user name to find Ignore Member of anyone who wants to give you a hard time for asking.
In light of realistic concerns, one can always count on some to make light of any reasonable discussion seemingly to discourage such. Bad for tourism to even discuss it.... but I'd want all the info and resources I could obtain in spite of the jokesters. Sometimes you just have to work around the self appointed experts who insist their way is the only way.
Where you got the following, I got no clue. The CCV message board, CoCoChat which is populated by habitual Roatan travelers has been silent on this issue since June 29th- the issue seems settled for them, for now. Maybe you were deriding the messages posted on SB from Doc Radawski of CCV who has been a resident of Roatan for almost 40 years now? This really baffles me:
DandyDon:
As far as whats' coming out of CCV: I wouldn't believe anything from that brain washed mini-republic anyway, but thanks. I have compared reality to reports from CCV enough to disbelieve anything I hear from there until confirmed at another source. You know, it's probly fine - but would you expect a business there to say otherwise?
....and
then you contradict yourself with this:
DandyDon:
I bet it's fine, especially on the secured cays!
and again, again...
What is relevant here would be questions of safety in the Islands during this time of stress for anyone visiting the Islands. I hope that travelers with real concerns will be allowed to ask without ridicule.
I'll give you one thing, you have the tenacity of a Bulldog. Unfortunately, there is no meat on the bone.
The
has flown the "coup".
You can ask the same question 100 different ways, you can post exciting but meaningless governmental warnings that they churn out like US Dollars, you can protest that
your right to know is being restricted and compromised by an evil cabal of Island Illuminati, you can play the "defender of the unknowing" card, but it all boils down to the same thing.
As much as you want to 
there really isn't anything going on at the Bay Islands to report.
All air carriers report 100% service, the planes are flying at all airports on the mainland of Honduras as well as the Bay Islands. The Cruise Ships are operational and foresee no issues.
I am reminded of my nephew who became enthralled with his new-found ability to ask "if it was raining". It got to the point where we would then ask him, "You mean, outside?".
How many times can one give the reassurance that many less travelled than you crave? You can rephrase and alter the question a hundred different ways, the answer is still the same. It's all quiet on Roatan and the Bay islands.
We will all be watching with care for developments that may or may not arise from this political mess that occurred some 200 miles to the South, across 30 miles of open Ocean- a place that itself is also pretty quiet.
If something does occur, even in that distant capitol, it will ignite another round of the same questions from excited and concerned Bay Islands vacationers. The difference will be that there is something else that is new to report. Information that is available is shared as those who are on-scene can provide it.
I travel to dive all over the world, and my choice of a screen name of RoatanMan might be misleading for some, thinking that's all I do. My heart and soul are with Roatan, and yes- I bridle when fuel is heaped on a fire, a fire that has no use. In the mean time- why covertly cause detriment to a struggling island economy by rehashing nothing? If there is something worth reporting, know that I and others will be on this Board as soon as we can to report what is known. Facts- I take the good with the bad.
Sometimes the answer that has been given a hundred times is best reprised with a simple....
"A coconut fell off a tree today"
