Guanaja Honduras - Let's visit Graham's Place

Well, our half hearted attempt at fishing didn't put any bounty on the table for lunch so we all made our way over to Graham's Place, located on Josh's Cay just off the southeast corner of Guanaja Honduras.

Graham's is well known for his free mooring buoys for cruiser's, as well as free ice and water to boaters, and all that is expected in return is that the sailors come in occasionally for a cool beverage or food. A pretty sweet deal! Graham's Place also gives new meaning to the swim up bar ...... I know, the fancy resorts have a wonderful swimming pool that is manned by a bartender to keep all the swimmers or "loungers" hydrated .... well take a look at this! At Graham's Place you just pull up at log stool and take a seat in the Caribbean Sea .... way COOL!
Protection from the sun comes from the thatched palm frond roofs.

Graham is actually not a local Honduran, but hails from the Cayman Islands. A pleasant fellow, who meticulously maintains his resort, is a terrific host and will stop by your table and chat while everyone has their favorite beverage. The day that we were there the we enjoyed Salva Vida, a local Honduran brand!

The food was a bit pricier, reminded us more of Florida prices, but everyone had a good time and we loved the island atmosphere with the parrots and other local "critters". A walk around the island revealed hammocks swinging in the lush foliage ... just begging for someone to hop in and spend the afternoon snoozing in the tropical breezes.

Here I am with our host Senor Graham ... a charming guy who takes his job of host seriously. We toured the property and all of his cabanas were squeaky clean and ready for the next guest. In the distance there were two people kite surfing ..... paradise!

The cabana's are cozy little cottages in a studio and one bedroom design ... decorated with an island flair ... and all of them had air conditioning for those guests that are running a bit hot! His room rates include breakfast and lunch ... so if you are in the area ...be sure to stop by!

Graham also has an natural "aquarium" set up in between his docks where you can see the turtles he has saved from the soup pot as well as lobsters, conch and a variety of interesting fish ... the water is so clear you can view it right from the dock ......... and for you folks that are missing one sock, Graham's Place has a similar problem in reverse. There is an area on one end of the island where various shoes, sandals and flip flops wash up on shore ... of course, never a pair, only one ... he has made a memorial for them!


These are just some of the things to enjoy while traveling in Guanaja Honduras!
