we decided to head back to Water Cay for a full day of snorkeling, swimming and sitting on the beach. We hired a local fisherman to take us over with his boat, and asked him to return for us by the end of the day. We made sure that we brought enough water and food with us, and a few minutes later we were dropped off on the northern beach of the island. To our satisfaction, it looked that we were the only three people on Water Cay, and it felt great to have a private Caribbean island to ourselves. We settled on the beach, left our stuff there and grabbed our snorkels, mask and fins and headed to explore the south side of the island. As soon as we got in 
the water and geared up, we noticed not one or two, but hundreds of jelly fish all around us. After a few minutes we wisely decided to cancel our plan and return to the beach, since snorkeling was out of the question, since we would be covered in stings.Then we were faced with another problem - we didn't have a ride back to the cays until late afternoon, no cell phone and no radio (not that you can receive cell phone service anyway on such a small island). Just as we were debating what to do, we spotted a dive boat from Alton's that was anchored nearby; Josh offered to swim
over to the boat to ask if he can use their radio to call back to the cays and have someone sent over to pick us up. As he returned, he first told us the bad news: they wouldn't let him use the radio; we asked why only to find out the good news: we were invited aboard the boat and they would drop us off on their way back to Utila. So we packed up our stuff and walked into the water, holding all the important stuff (cameras and such) way above our heads. We made it onto the boat all wet but with the dry stuff untouched, climbed aboard and the captain came over to introduce himself."Hi, my name is Alton and in case you didn't know I am the mayor of Utila". That was one hell of
an introduction, followed by an election speech about all his accomplishments for the last few years. I didn't have the heart to tell him that we were not eligible to vote since we were in Honduras on a tourist visa, but it was an interesting way of meeting the mayor of the town. We got dropped off at Hotel Kayla, thanked them for their kindness, and spent the afternoon relaxing before having to get ready for a night dive. Gina stayed at the hotel and she was our divemaster, leading us on a dive around Jewel Cay Lagoon, where we got to see the ilusive Large Eyed Toadfish and a Juvenile French Angelfish.The next morning Josh and Marisa packed up
their bags, as after the two morning dives we all headed back to Utila so that they will catch the ferry the following day. We got a place at the Bayview Hotel, fairly expensive for the size of the room - we were laughing that the bathroom was converted from their closet (giving a whole new meaning to WC - Water Closet). We had our last dinner together at Dave`s (by far the best value for the lempira), and we went for a few drinks at TreeTanic, where we met the rest of the Captain Morgan`s crew, so that they can all say goodbye to Josh and Marisa, as they were, sadly, heading back home, ending a month long trek through 3 countries in Central America.
