Updates, I guess



Finally got a bit inspired to write.
First of all, I want to share that the Roatan Marineparks photo contest calender is available. Have a look at their FB page and see some of the amazing photos that were submitted. I am proud to say I think I bought the first one as they had just gotten them in. A great birhtday present to one of our divers. (Lisa I hope its in your office and makes your smile and dream of your last spectacular visit).
With the West End Road project finally finished after a year of construction of sewage system and road surfacing, we can all finally get back to normal life.
Leo has been documenting everything for a year now. He must be the one to consult if there are any questions about where the water and sewage pipes are.
What a relief not to have dodging heavy machinery, random holes that were closed one day and open again the next. We miss our sandy road. But since there was no choice, we are glad to see we actually got the better of the evils. A kind of sandy colored cement road with a rippled pattern.
We had a couple who have been diving with us for the last 5 years. At the end of a diving day  included logging dives, maybe have a drink and out come the fish and creature books. Lisa and Clay announced that this time was the year they observed the most variety in the marinelife. And bigger groupers, bigger and a lot more lobsters and crabs.
This is a thumbs up for the Marinepark and all that are involved and support.
September also was the time to see crazy amounts of Silversides and Glassy Sweepers in the Blue Channel swimmthroughs.
The treat for the divers a couple of weeks ago were a pregnant pipehorse. Well its the male who carry the upcoming offspring so don't really sure what term to use...are the offspring of the seahorsefamily called “ seafoals” then???
From the local scene, Haywood still directs the traffic once in a while. Emerson is now selling fresh Basil picked in front of the Blue Marlin most likely, the crazy twin is getting even more crazy. Will not get into details on that one other than she has a thing with hibiscus plants. Either she loves or hates them. The woman who used to take her pig swimming in Halfmoon Bay on Sundays is not allowed anymore.
We have lived here for years now, and the priority of rules, regulations and policework keeps baffling us.
Pigs are not allowed on the beach. So the pig got a warning. If you show up again you might get arrested or shot. Reason is pigs poo on the beach. So do dogs and some humans I am sure…
So piggy is banned from the beach. Poor piggy, was fun to watch
