What a sunrise! I was going to hike up the mountain on the main island that morning, but the boat driver who was going to take me over never showed. I was a little upset at first, because the view from the mountain is spectacular, but when I saw this sunrise, I was glad to be right next to the water for this shot!

Guanaja is the easternmost of the three Islas de la Bahia (Bay Islands), followed by Roatan and Utila. Most of Guanaja's population is concentrated on a little key island less than half a square mile in area. Around 5000 people are packed onto this little island called Bonaca, because the sand flies on the main island were such a nuisance that most people live over the water or on small islands to keep away from these pests.
