"The Northerner, Roatan, Honduras."


Our trip to Roatan, was at the end of the rainy season. They often- during the rainy season- get storms called Northerners. I enjoyed the name of these storms very much, because at times I often feel like a Northern storm, myself. 

The Northerner refers to the winds they get from the North. Pretty simple.  Roatan is located in the Caribbean, and they get Trade Winds. The precipitation part of the storm was coming in from Mexico.  The storm caused a surge in the ocean, and some rather large waves for a rather calm ocean.  Although these waves might be considered "good surf," on the East Coast of the U.S., its considered rough seas there.  Keep in mind- this side of the island where these pictures were taken usually looks like a lake.
