STRAY CAT CATAMARAN

What an amazing afternoon of sailing.  I've always dreamed of sailing on a catamaran and yesterday's adventure was more than I ever could have imagined.  On Saturday we were having dinner at Bearchers and the live entertainment was the "West End Players" with lead singer Brian James.  This guys knows how to play guitar!  He recently returned home to Roatan after a 10 month tour in Europe.  We met a couple from Red Deer and spent the evening dancing and enjoying some very good live music. Shut the place down and managed to find our way home.  During our conversation that night we learned the band was going to be playing on a sunset cruise on Thursday afternoon.  When we arrived on Roatan I signed up to a facebook group which gave you details of events going on that day.  Thursdays mornings event was the sunset cruise, so we were able to get two tickets.  Captain Dave was a cool character and promised to take good care of us as we were the first to purchase tickets.

When we arrived at the dock he called us to the front of the line and we jumped aboard to find that our new friends (who knew the drummer) had secured front row seating on beach chairs about two feet from where the band was playing.  We set sail, grabbed a beer and listened to great music as we cruised down the coast of Roatan to South beach.  We stopped for a snorkel and then set sail again.

This was our view from our seats.  The Sun came out on our way back to West Bay and we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset as a backdrop.  

Brain James is a great player.  He played a mix of ACDC, Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, and Carlos Santana as well as some of his own music.  He has a great little tune called "West End Girls" which I'm sure there are many stories about. 

They played until the sun set and then we disembarked with plans to meet Dwight and Sharon for dinner.

 This I think was our highlight of the vacation.  It was such a hit that Captain Dave is setting up another sailing for the coming week before Brian heads back to L.A. to do some recording.
