Sargassum

It is a rare sight on our beach as we have been invaded by gulf-weed. According to Wikipedia it can grow to several meters. In this instance it has taken over our entire beach. Usually a couple of guys bring out the shovels and rid the beach of debris. This incident calls for a backhoe which has been contracted to come clean the beach tomorrow.

In other news, Eimear from Ireland, Cole from Canada, and Zach from Florida have started their training towards becoming PADI Divemasters. For now, they are currently working on their Rescue course. And yes, we went out in the bay with all this Sargassum and surge. We did giant strides off the dock and avoided it on the way in. The viz is as clear as mushroom soup in the near swim-zone but clears up real good out in the far sand patches. Luckily enough during self rescue skills we came face to face with a Southern Stingray. 

Potlicker's days in dry dock are almost completed. She is being painted and will return to rotation in a couple of days sporting her new swim platform. 

The weather is a bit suspect these days. Then again we are still wearing sandals. We hope to see you sooner than later. Best wishes from Roatan.
