    Liveaboard in Roatan

    DMs who have worked on the Tabutne have come in, claiming they were never paid. They have not been happy campers. On the other hand, people I've met, who work on the Utila Agressor like it very much so. Tabutne had a stint here in Half Moon Bay, but was made "redundant", sort of. It doesn't...

    The curfew has been lifted. Folks have been canceling. We signed up some students who were headed to Utila, but the ferry wasn't running b/c of lack of customers. There was plenty of walk in business who've decided to come anyhow, and they've realized things are pretty amazing. This...

    Currency on Roatan

    There are three ATMs here in West-End, not always working though. They run out of money and it's apparently a difficult task to forecast how much it takes to maintain one operational for a week straight. How does the rest of the world do it? 1, 5, and 10s are good ones to have. It's hard at...

    7.1 Earthquake 39 miles off Roatan

    I haven't had internet access at home for a couple of days, but that has nothing to do with the quake. I was awake at the time and having grown up in Florida, I wasn't sure what the hell was going on. The wooden house was shaking and shaking, the intensity of the shakes seemed to magnify. We...
