<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Hi all,</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000;"><b> May and the hot humid weather has hit. Luckily it is followed by trade winds and they are blessed! Semana Santa has come and gone and it is always followed by a quiet spell before the summer vacationers arrive. The water is warmer, the diving gorgeous with Whale shark sighting off Utila and dolphins moving through. </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000;"><b> The Roatan Yacht club at Half Moon Bay has been launched and there are now up to 5 lazer sailboats functioning…soon to be 9. Everyone is learning how dicey the wind currents are in that bay and it has been very entertaining for the Peanut Galley in Sundowners watching the antics. They look gorgeous out there. Bit more challenging for the snorkelers though since when your head is down in the water it is hard to hear them clipping along. It is a bit like being in a video game out there.</b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Hope Spring is around the corner up there in the North where the snow continues to fly. And I hope you all have a great Month.</b></div>Kristin Hayneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02222338390716508595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823734991418099978.post-7826536352128115652010-03-31T14:10:00.000-07:002010-03-31T14:11:09.655-07:00April Update<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13;"><b>Hi and Happy Spring! Wow is it ever coming? Those March storms just kept rolling in here ! But of course those that live here on Roatan welcome them. I never stop being amazed at how drastically the Ocean can change in a matter of minutes. I am sure the Boaters will agree! </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13;"><b> I had a great Birthday…thanks to my wonderful family planning a well plotted out surprise party…my first one ever! Boy was I clueless. FUN! </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13;"><b>Roatan seems to transform as Easter approaches and this could be a record setting year for Vistors this Semana Santa which is what Easter week is called. Many locals avoid or dread it but I have come to find it lively and fun and very entertaining. It is like a Latin Mardi Gras and most of these folks are ready to Party! The weather is looking good, since as of this writing, we are in the middle of the Festive week. There is a battle of the bars going on and there are more than ever. Fosters is open and looking great as well as a bar that was formally Nova and is now 50 bar….diver lingo! The traffic is restricted down the West End Road and it has taken on the feel of a street fair. Can only imagine the amount of beer that will be consumed! The Businesses are happy and with the Cruise ships in on top of it…who can complain! </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13;"><br />

<br />
Ex-president Manuel Zelaya was NOT taken to Costa Rica in his pajamas.<br />
<br />
It was all a lie. The question is, how many presidents knew it was a lie?<br />
<br />
When removed from Honduras on June 28, Mel Zelaya was fully dressed up to and including his cowboy boots. We heard rumors of this from the beginning, including from neighbors who saw him leave with the military fully dressed. We also heard that there was a video of Zelaya's exit that was shown to José Insulza of the OAS, who nevertheless continued the lie. But who was going to believe Honduras, when victim Zelaya was saying otherwise to CNN, Telesur, and the NY Times, who dutifully reported it without investigation.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">This would be a minor detail except for the thousands of newspaper articles and outraged exclamations of presidents and pundits around the world, crying <b>"in his pajamas!"</b> - which you would think ranked right up there with a bullet in the head. That press conference of Zelaya in his pajamas with bed-hair set the tone and had huge impact on the way that Honduras was treated by the world.</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt; text-decoration: none;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">But even worse, Costa Rica and its President Oscar Arias must have known that he arrived fully dressed and donned the pjs and messed up his hair later. Are we to believe that this fact just slipped the mind of airport personnel and Zelaya's escort to the Presidential Palace in San José?

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Happy December all, <br />
</span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Well, Roatan with stood yet another quiet month. Seems like the whole country was on standstill. The Elections were just waiting out there on the horizon. The one thing that the waiting game offered up was the time it took Zelaya to totally make a fool of himself, lie and prove his true character. He signed the accord that all had agreed upon to let the elections proceed and then immediately did not follow it.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Since this has been a long drawn out story and of course not everyone has followed it, I will just report (being on the ground and the sand) the events of the election of Nov 29. And anyone that wants to catch up on a bit of History…how a little country stood up to the world and fought to remain free and Democratic when they were being pressured to put a corrupt, drug running Dictator back in office even though he was kicked out constitutionally and legally then go to <a href="http://www.world4honduras.com/">www.world4honduras.com/</a> . <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">The Election was legal, had a record breaking 60 percent turn out and the New President is National Party candidate Porfirio Lobo ( Pepe for short). It does appear that the U.S. will recognize this election and lift the sanctions and it is also a set back for Venezuelan President Chavez’s strongman expansionist agenda. Hopefully this will give hope to other Countries struggling to overcome oppressive Governments.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
One of the reasons that the U.S. withdrew support is a two-page US intelligence report describing Zelaya's complicity in corruption and narcotrafficking. A US State department rep told a source of a blogger that I follow that this report was "frightening". </span><a href="http://faustasblog.com/"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Fausta's Blog</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> i</span><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">s a great source for Honduran Information.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Other than that we slowly see more visitors returning and the businesses that have weathered this year will come out stronger and have new creative marketing ideas that helped them survive. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p> </span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Some good rainy storms blew through but that sun is always quick to return. The Island is beautiful and the Christmas lights are going up. Lots to celebrate and be grateful for here.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14pt;">Hope your Holidays will be bright and hope to see some of you that are off the rock, back on the Island next year.</span><br />
</div><br />

It’s been the summer of waiting and the term manana has never been more relevant. <br />
<br />
<br />
The huge ray of happiness that lifted everyone’s spirit was the qualification for Honduras to advance to the World Cup playoffs. . Honduras beat El Salvador to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa! The streets in Tegus were blocked but this time not by protestors but by excited Honduran fans and the country came together. The President declared the 15th a national Holiday! Imagine that…shows you the importance of Soccer down here. Boy was that a needed little victory. To quote a blog author that I follow (www.lagringasblogicito.blogspot.com) “Crime will be reduced because everyone is so happy and because all the private ammunition of the country was used up tonight to shoot the guns in the air….It is like Mardi gras in Honduras.-“—<br />
<br />
<br />
One thing that is moving ahead is the Black Pearl Golf course and it is good to see some building going on and people employed. They hire local town folks to go out and pick weeds from the new growing grass to avoid pesticides from running off into the ocean and hurting the reef…Very cool! The first 9 holes should be open in December.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Cruise ship docks near completion (Carnival and Royal Caribbean) No one is cursing those Cruise ships from coming. Seems to be the only brave people in the world go on Cruise ships. <br />
<br />
<br />
Looks like we will not see a hurricane this season since the water temperatures have cooled. After the Earthquake down here we did not need to sample anymore of Mother Nature.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fosters on the Water in West End is being renovated. Maybe we will not see it fall into the water. <br />
<br />
<br />
As always Halloween was a huge success with two nights of partying….This Island loves to dress up and the lack of Halloween stores makes for some interesting costumes. The little kids trick or treat down West End Road and the dive shops hand out the candy (or at least what is left of all the treats they don’t eat themselves). Very fun to see the cute kids.<br />

<h1>October Update from your Gal on the Sand in Roatan<o:p></o:p></h1><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"> </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Well Toto we aren’t in Kansas any more!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Roatan right now is sooo quiet and it is like stepping into another reality. The Exiled President Mel Zelaya did somehow sneak back into the country and as of this update he is still hanging out in the Brazilian Embassy in Tegus. We all had the interesting experience of being under curfew for a night and most of one day…above is a picture of West End on Tuesday the 22<sup>nd</sup> at noon. (yes we went snooping). Normally this street would be bustling but it was spooky how dead it was. With the Political situation in Honduras dragging on everyone is doing their very best to stay up bear with it and try to make ends meet. We get glimmers of hope that this problem will be resolved soon but it’s too soon to say. With most people supporting the Democracy here we are running out of theories as to why other Countries can’t see the obvious truth (or don’t want to). Just an interesting chapter in History going on here that I know has and is repeated all the time around the world. But an eye opener for a lot of us folks from the U.S. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Never the less September brought great news. For one that I am a Grandmother again….and there is a new Honduran on the Island. Castle Andrew Storms, born Sept 13<sup>th</sup>. 7lbs 7 oz. Darling! Sweet! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">A very happy little camper. He is pictured above as well as a photo with he and his buddy Dylan Etches.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"> For another Roatan had a very successful and unusually rowdy (in a party kind of way) fish tournament. With booths from the bars and restaurants lining the streets it was a good reminder as to how fun and lively this small beach town can be. I was in La Ceiba for the birth of Castle but I returned to stories of record hangovers! Some big fish did give up their lives and many of us all continue to hope for the year that catch and release is the name of the game.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"> For loyal Reef Gliders dive shop divers, there will be new owners here in December and lets hope lots of divers with them. John and Barb will help keep the memories swimming there.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"> Faithful old Ellie the Sundowners mascot passed away at the end of Sept and everyone will miss here. She was one good dog always there to greet thirsty beer drinkers….she will be missed. She is pictured with my Granddaughter Paia.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"> Michelle has expanded her WET SPOT bar to upstairs and the Football season has been launched there! Great place! <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Three of the Foster boys were lost and then found at sea! Nice to have a good ending! 2 and a half days in their boat floating 30 miles off Utila. Next time they will take extra gas I hope. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">The New Applebees and Supermarket are open at the Mall. I know, I know this is stupid news but hey…a tiny bit of progress is not unwanted here. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Other than that the Island is Great! No huge storms on the horizon but if there is one I am sure it will be reason to party.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Have a great October and spooky Halloween and be happy!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">Check out my plugs for the Black Pearl Golf course and the Roatan Movie Trailer. <br />
</span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: "Apple Casual"; font-size: 16pt;">All for now, Kristin<o:p></o:p></span><br />
