Full Day

Last night we went out to eat at a place called THE VIEW. It was dark so I'm not sure how good the view it but everyone said is was really great. I tried to get a fillet well done but they suggested some other steak so I tried it and it was pretty darn good. The place is pretty expensive for Roatan but still now bad. I had a killer dessert, the steak and a couple beers for about $15 so I guess that's pretty good.

Today is Thursday and I had my first full day. We went down to the shop at 7:00 am to fill tanks. We loaded the truck and got everything ready to go back over to the south side by 7:45 so Ben and I went up and had some pancakes. I drove across the island for the first time so I could learn the road and feel the bumps. Our resort is about 4 miles down the dirt road and that little bit takes about 15 minutes or more. You drive on which ever side of the road has the least holes or rocks. It's really hard on the truck.

I didn't dive because of my ear but the rest of the group dove Calvin's Crack, Church Wall and Reef House Wall. We usually don't dive 3 times on the other side but we took lunch and it worked out okay. We had a problem early on when one of the customers tank, BCD and regulator fell onto the floor and got damaged. It was our fault as someone didn't fasten the tank down. The lady was pretty upset but we did get her a working system and she got to dive even if she wasn't thrilled with us. We are going to try and get the parts to fix her system tomorrow.

We ate lunch in the lagoon behind Reef House (another resort) at some ones dock. I walked over to Reef House and said hello to Larry the owner. Gerri and I stayed there in November of 2005. The place hasn't changed much. Its not nearly as nice as Paya Bay but it does cost less. They are doing a booming business compared to us and we can't figure out why. I guess its the price and advertising.

Tonight we are having fresh caught wahoo. I saw them bring the fish in to sell this morning. It was about 4 feet long and weighed about 40 pounds. Nice fish.
