Today we were due to go to Roatan, which is the largest and most developed of the Islas de la Bahia (Bay Islands), a group of small islands off the northeast coast of Honduras in the Caribbean Sea. Roatan, an island known for its many attractions, both on land and water is about 33 miles long and just over two miles wide at its widest point.
We were up bright and early for our excursion ashore only to find the ship at sea, when it should berthed in Roatan at 5.00am. A little while later the captain announced that they had to abort the visit as 30 knot winds were preventing him berthing in the small harbour. We were not alone as another ship the Island Destiny also cancelled its visit.
The captain has sailed around the island twice, however we are now making our way out to sea to our next destination Cozumel.
Although disappointed not to be able to see Roatan, as we had an interesting looking excursion to the Botanical Garden and Butterfly farm booked. We can console ourselves that we will be returning to Roatan as part of our cruise to Alaska next year (did we mention our cruise to Alaska!!!!!!!!).
