Here's a nice note for you. Last nite, I gor a phone call from a freind who retired about a year ago. He lives in Honduras, now. A little place called Roatan. I'm not sure if its on a map. He asked what the temp was, I said 29. He said they were going thru a cold spell, too. A bit of rain and 83, water temp 86, trade winds fair. He's going scuba diving tomorrow. They have a 45' center cockpit motor sailer and take vacationers out for a week at a time. He also helps manage a beach side hotel. I'm jealous. A cold spell at 83 degrees !! I could throttle him.
