West Bay

Did the usual 9:00 dive, nothing spectacular, but it was a pleasent dive with only three of us.  One big barracuda followed us the whole way.  He seemed to be especially interested in Annika, who didn't even see him until the dive was nearly finished.  That was probably a good thing, because she didn't particularily like his attention.
Got back to the house, packed up the snorkel bag, and off we heaaded to the water taxi dock for the ride to West Bay.  We'd saved this for Saturday, Glen and Mandys last day year, and a day without any cruise ships in town.  What a difference between today and last Tuesday when there were three big ships in port.  Just a few people strolling the beach.  Lunch at the Thristy Turtle.  I knew they did good smoked food, so I had the smoked chicken wrap.  Very tasty.  The Monkey Lalas were reported to be quite tasty too.
Walked down the beach beyond Infinity Bay and found a palm tree with a bit of shade.  Did I mention that it was bloody hot here again today.....Eileen and I geared up for a snorkel, we weaved out way out through some narrow channels and made it to the outer wall.  Good snorkel.  Glen and Mandy headed in next.  She's had a lot of trouble with her mask this year but today she was in the water for 30-45 minutes with no issues.  A great way for her to finish.
Monkey Lala sampling at Fosters West Bay, water taxi back to Half Moon and it was soon time to head into town for dinner.  Started with a hike to the far end of town to the Happy Hour bar for another, you guessed it, Monkey Lala.  Then back to the Argentinian Grill for dinner.  Good meals all around.  Glen finished off with his final Roatan Monkey Lala.  Eileens conclusion; the creamiest one of the day was at the Happy Hour bar, the best was at the Thirsty Turtle.  General conclusion; it's pretty hard to find one on the island that isn't good.
Tomorrow; morning dive, get back in time to say Good byes to Glen and Mandy, then we're off to see the Black Pearl golf course.
