Day 4 August 24, 2010 Roatan, Honduras

Woke this AM to sunny skies and absolutely FLAT seas.  Best of all. . . . .  today we dove Mary's Place!  Roatan's "signature dive" and I can't imagine better conditions than we had today.  2 crevices to swim through and a wall.  Very cool dive.  Great visibility.  Skipped the drop off dive.

The afternoon dive was the Mr Bud wreck.  A VERY deep wall (gave me the heebie jeebies!) Lots of life and stuff to look at.  We did a drop off on the Coco View wall and had a little misunderstanding.  Jim said to go straight back to the shore, and I was leading so I took off.  We were fighting the current so I felt like I was working really hard to go nowhere.  Then we stopped for a minute and he led the rest of the way.  I was really tired when we got back.  He said he was very surprised and how fast I started out.  Oh well, there are worse problems to have :)

Dinner tonight was a bar-b-que on the little key they have.  They had some student folklorico dancers who performed.  Little kids to teenagers.  They were good.  I was impressed that they have something like that on Roatan to keep old traditions alive.

Another night to collapse in bed!
