So last fall I had taken the boat to be painted. It was a major fail. So it had to be redone. There was a lot of sanding to be done. The original color I had picked was a blue metallic but it did not get stirred well and all the metal flake was left …

In between Vacation Content
Hopefully everyone is doing okay with all this heat and here in Iowa, the humidity!! I thought I would share my current priority project as it is getting to a point where I’m going to put the finishing touches to it lower on the priority list. I got this boat a couple years before I …
Probably a return is in order…
Hello readers! We have made it back to the states, I am home and will be able to make my shift on Saturday. Emily gets to spend time down home for a couple days. Our trip was short to begin with and then another day shorter due to the fires. We probably would have been …
No urgent care this time!
Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing well! Today we made our last snorkel trip for this vacation, it was a night snorkel with no incidents. We have gotten a lot of time in the water for this trip even though it’s a shorter trip than normal. I was able to get in six good dives. …
Free Diving
I found out late this evening that there is a free diving school right down the street from our apartment. I’m super disappointed that I didn’t know this sooner. I would love to take a free diving class. Apparently, you can get certified in free diving. If we come back to Roatan, I’ll definitely add …
Snorkel Day

All six are in the book
I did my last 3 dives for this trip today, Emily snorkeled through I didn’t see much of her. I stayed deeper today for most of the dives. I had a 45 minute dive the first go and then the last were 59 minutes for both. I tried to hit an hour on the computer …
Three down, three to go!
Today was my first dive day, Emily was allowed to snorkel in the same general area. I requested my own dive master so we ended up having our own boat for the first two dives. My dives were respectable at 40, 49 and 48 minutes of down time. I am getting better in respect to …
Sun on Saturday
Hi folks! A little update on my foot, the majority if spines have dissolved, there is a couple spots yet but we have vinegar and a something to put it in so I can soak. They don’t seem to be causing any issues. I will clean it regularly and do the soaks while I’m here. …
Sea Urchins
So, we had an eventful day yesterday that ended with an evening at the local Urgent Care where Bill got sea urchin spines dissolved out of his foot. He’ll write about this more fully in his post. We went for a night snorkel, but our snorkel guide didn’t show up so we went out with …
