Following another boat into the lagoon. 3 boats went aground the day before. Narrow entrance and shallow bay - 8 to 12 feet of water. 
Some of the boats in the lagoon. This year at Xmas there were 23, last year between 60 to 80. Finacial crisis hits us all. We are lucky to be here.
One of the many visitors in the bay
Santa comes to Barra for all good boys and girls. Don Julio if you have been nice. What a great way to spend Christmas. The cruisers had a Christmas party at the Sands Hotel - turkey, ham and all the trimmings. Over 50 people from boats in the lagoon came in for the festivities. What great fun it was. The Sands encourages cruisers to dingy in and use their pool and showers. Happy hour is from 2 - 6 so it is a hang out spot for all of us.
New Years Eve. We had leg of lamb and shrimp appys on Optical Illusion (Jackson`s boat). Played Mexican Train and managed against all odds to stay up to bring the New Year in. The Grande Bay Resort put on an excellent fire works display. Steve and I are now off to enjoy the pool and have a cervesa. The very best of wishes to you all for 2009.

It was nice to find this little up-date this morning when i checked for the first time this year. While you enjoyed the lagoon we shoveled and shoveled. Went snowshoeing at Cypres (thank goodness for 4x4 drive). After the near record snow and cold of December warmth finally returned to the coast causing floods in low areas. White Rock is fine.
