Utila So Good

Another great sail to Utila from Roatàn. The Winds filled the sail And
the wave rolled under the hull. Captian Vierne recorded our speed a
little over 7 knots. Huge waves slid forward underneath us and we
seemed to gain speed as it's backside pulled out from below. They
seemed mountianous compaired to the battered catamaran we floated on.
It looked as though the situation could turn nightmarish in one miss
step. We sailed on towards Utila feeling like babies being rocked
gently in their mothers arms.
Still dizzy from the night before the boat put us all to rest. Only
two hours into the sail and Utila was already growing from the size of
a match box to the sillouette of the hill that it is. It grew for
another two hours until we finnaly rounded the point at the West Side
of Utila.
Indecicive of what we were really doing we went with Viernes
suggestion on where to stay. Margarita Ville it is. This would let us
explore the island the next day and talk to a few people about where
and who to dive with. I have stayed with Alton's the last two visits
and really like the accomodations right on the water. You just can't
beat laying in bed being able to see the sea. Even if your sharing the
room with three other people.
We were all deciding on a place together. And we had a night and a day
to figure it out. The night insued into a chilled out sipping contest
until we decided to call it a night. On the long stroll back to our
accomodations we ran into Monty. He rounded us up with a couple smacks
to the face and twist of an arm and we were back on the hunt for a
crazy time. We found it a Cross Creek...
