We are here hanging out in Placencia, Belize waiting for a weather window to go to Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras. A cold front is coming in on Wednesday and after that we will start looking for a window. This is not a bad place to wait.
Our external gps for our navigational software went bad as did our pactor modem for our SSB radio which allows us to send emails and receive weather reports. Luckily our friends on s/v Vindand had an extra external gps so that problem is solved. We won't be able to repair our modem until we get to Roatan. We will still get weather reports verbally over the radio, we just can't communicate through email.

Hope everyone is enjoying the new year.

In an age when mass society has rendered obsolete the qualities of individual courage and independent thought, the oceans of the world still remain, vast and uncluttered, beautiful but unforgiving, awaiting those who will not submit. Their voyages are not an escape, but a fulfillment. THE SLOCUM SOCIETY
