Barefoot Cay Resort & Marina, Roatan, Honduras
Well, we may be on lockdown here in Roatan, but the staff and managers here at the marina could not be any nicer or more accomodating. We are on day eight of what we believe is to be a 14 day quarantine, however, no one is really sure of the absolute duration. The Mainland Honduran government issued a state of emergency a few days ago which meant that Roatan had to follow suit, ceasing all nonessential movement and enforcing curfews. The American & Canadian tourists who have been stranded on Roatan are eventually being flown back to their respective countries. The governor of Roatan, Dino Silvestri, is amazing and has had daily video chats where he gives the status of Roatan and answers questions that you can post online during the chat. He also has developed a website addressing this situation: www.covid19roatan.com where you can listen to his chats and also register for departing flights. The poor man looks exhausted and is doing an amazing job. Our thanks and appreciation go out to all of the hard working people of the government and especially to all of the emergency and hospital workers who are risking their lives. To all my nurse friends...be safe out there and thank you for all you do. We may be treading water here in Roatan, but we feel very thankful for where we are and who we are with.
The very thoughtful management here at Barefoot Cay Resort & Marina (www.barefootcay.com) have given us use of casitas ‘Azul’. We are able to use the cabana restrooms and shower and this is of great convenience to us. Thank you Gary & Stephanie!

Noni’s kitchen is still open at the resort, just not the restaurant - to go food only. The crew of the Independence got a night off and decided to have the ‘Local Favorite’ grilled whole fish and it was delicious.
No excuses now…I am practicing every day for a few hours a day
