Stop and See Harry - Ameobas!


11-4-91
Get underway in the morning during a rain squall, drops bigger than nickles but not much wind. Soon we are anchored in front of Harry’s and thru the binoculars I can see him hanging out in a hammock. Get ole Pal out and inflated and wander into shore, "hey Harry!", I say. "Hey Floyd", Harry says just like it hasn’t been 8 years. Not much change around here except Harry has a phone, still don’t know what to make of that. We proceed to find some Belikin Beer and fish to cook at the Co-op. Harry shows Fabian how to cook the fish Creole style .
Meet Mike and Bonnie again, they are running a pretty sucessful charter buisness. MIke having problem with his eyes, to many years in the glaring sun. Also run into Linda on "Pleades", they ran into some heavy weather and took some damage to thier boat, I guess they are now on the way back to the river. Much discussion and meeting about the BDF and customs harassing boats, bad for buisness. I guess the group of 8 boats before us got jumped on badly and so left the next morning. I don’t want to check in so haven’t been back to the boat all day, supposedly they can’t board you unless someone is there. We are out of here in the morning, and I sure don’t want to have to go to Belize City to check out.
