There is a very nice marina in Roatan owned by an American couple from Seattle.  They were the previous owners of Steve Dubnoff's Willard 47.  They are on the Internet but I forget the name of the place.  They are good friends of Hal Wyman.  Ask Hal about them when you see him on the FUBAR.

I have been to Roatan on diving expeditions.  It's a beautiful place.  World's second largest barrier reef.  The Red Lobster restaurant chain has a shrimp fleet there.

I may be coming down on the FUBAR as crew aboard John Rudolph's Krogen 48.  We'll see.
