The Sailing Adventures of Lea Scotia

Happy Birthday, Kiera!

Looking at the date of our last post I can’t believe we’ve been in Honduras for over two weeks   We spent our first week on Guanaja waiting out an impressive cold front.  Not only was it cold it was really, really rainy. A lot of rain! Reminded us of summer in Seattle.  But once the cold front ran through, it was sunny and 80 again.

We arrived on Roatan last Thursday and picked up our friend Eowyn in French Harbor on Saturday.  Sunday night we were treated to the orbital re-entry of Space Shuttle Endeavor.  It was the most beautiful site. A bright orange jet stream ran across the sky, horizon to horizon, led by a really fast moving object.   It wasn’t until Monday monrning that we figured out what it was. 

This past Wednesday, in preparation for another cold front we moved to Port Royal.  Thank goodness we did.  This front brought wind gusts up to 50 knots.  We were glad to be on a stable mooring buoy. 

We went snorkeling on a little secluded atoll yesterday with friends we met ashore.  They have a two-year old little girl that Kiera is enjoying the company of.

This afternoon, ashore at the Mango Creek Resort, we have a birthday party planned for Kiera.  She’s pretty excited to be four years old.  And Trevor and I can’t believe we have a four year old!  Every parent has been right and the time just flies by.

While here in Port Royal we have internet so we’ll be updating the blog with photos shortly.  For now I gotta get ready for a little girl’s birthday party.
