So in early May, Andiamo had to go into the boatyard to get some work done on her bottom and rudder. She was set to stay in the yard for about a week (actually ended up being 10 days). So with the cats comfortably being taken care of in Utila, I was free to go exploring around Honduras for awhile. There wasn’t much to stay around La Ceiba for, so a trip out to Copan was in order. I found out that Lotte and Pauline were there, so we coordinated to meet up while I was there. Then we went over to San Pedro Sula for another while, before we’d part ways again.
Copan was interesting, though not quite as “Tikal” interesting. The buildings were more elaborate, but the temples were more ruined, and not in as good preserved condition as Tikal’s. But it was interesting to see the differences in building techniques and architecture between these two cities that in the Mayan world were relatively close to each other.
The next few shots are of Andiamo, waiting to go back into the water after doing its time in the La Ceiba shipyard. She’s got a nice new bottom coat of paint, repaired rudder, and a gleaming topside, that had been spot painted, waxed and buffed to a spit shine. Hope I can keep her looking like that for awhile!
