14 April Reflections on Utila


All too soon it's time to leave this lovely island. I could have spent another week here; the diving is good and easy to find a company to take us further than we could reach by dinghy. Every night we went to a different restaurant and had some really good food, coffee shops for an afternoon cappuccino and a friendly place. Checking out was simple. At the moment there is only one immigration lady who works twenty days and then takes ten days off. We went to see her the day before she began her leave period, paid her $3 each and had our passports stamped. Next door is the Port Captain who took our clearance in papers and an hour later had the authority from mainland Customs it was OK to present us with our clearance papers and no charge.
The distance from Utila to the outer reef of Belize is about 70 miles; too much to cover leaving at dawn and to have good light to enter through the reef. We opted to leave at dusk and arrive at dawn.
Farewell Bay Islands of Honduras – the diving was the best we've experienced in the Caribbean so far.
