![]() ![]() The grounds, bathrooms and buildings are well maintained, considering the yacht club is closed. It’s currently closed, but there is someone there to collect 2.50 from you for tying up at the dock. To get to shore, we headed to the Roatan Yacht Club. It’s great knowing that we have a definite day of easy accessibility to food, but I wanted more time in that awesome store, so we set out in the Aluminum Princess for our own grocery excursion. Gas jugs are under seats or at feet and crush-able things are on laps. Grocery bags and boxes are stacked high in the back of the bus. It’s amazing how all of the people, groceries and gas jugs fit onto the bus for the trip back (especially with so many people last week). There was so much sensory overload, that I barely had a chance to get anything on my list before it was time to get in line and check out, where we realized that tax here is close to 30%! Yikes! We have an hour to shop, which was nowhere near enough for me on the first visit. We have heard that they get weekly shipments from Miami, which explains the many familiar sights from home. They then walk back to meet the bus at Eldon’s, just a short distance away.Įldon’s is awesome!!! It is huge, and full of familiar items and brands that we haven’t seen since Florida. Anyone needing dinghy or motor gas is welcome to bring their jugs along, and get off at the station to fill them up. The bus first stops at a gas station right near Eldon’s. On our first grocery day, the bus was packed full, with all of the jump seats down the aisles in use. Later in the day, a mini bus arrives at 3pm to shuttle us off to Eldon’s grocery store. Howard loves the “veg” truck, as he’s crazy for pineapple leaves. When he pulls up it’s every man for himself, as cruisers grab what they need. At 11:30, a local man arrives with a truck load of fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs. Tuesday is grocery day here at the marina. Here in French Harbor, we have several options. Just before Woody’s was a terrific produce stand, with some of the best fruits and vegetables we’ve seen. Being in a touristy area, prices were a bit high, but the selection was good. When in West End, we went to shore and did a quick walk to Woody’s Groceries. Groceries in Roatan have been easy to get to, for the most part, and the selection of food has been surprisingly great. ![]()
