We have never seen such clear water while sailing. With no
wind or sea swell we could see the coral below us at 20m! Just outside the reef
we caught a small barracuda and anchored in Sandy bay, Guanaja in front of the
Manatee bar.

We enjoyed a few beers and “bratwurst und sauerkraut” with the
Saturday-regulars-local-crowd at the Manatee. During the day more boats came in
to hide from the forecasted cold front. By sunset we were back at the boat,
just as the Norther/cold front started. All went well during the night, not too
strong wind except for a huge French Catamaran which anchored on top of us and
gave Christelle a sleepless night keeping watch over the cat! (A couple of days
later we had to pull in chain when they left- their anchor was under us)

The next 2 weeks we spend on maintenance, rowing and
snorkeling.

We had once again a wonderful time here at the bay with
Hansito, owner of Manatee, Klaus and Annette the managers, Hans owner of the
Monday evening pizza bar and Gar the live aboard sailor in the bay.
