“The Night of the Iguana”
Ok, so it’s really the Day of the Iguana. Yesterday afternoon this guy/gal came sauntering up the dock beside us – needless to say, the dogs went crazy!
This morning it was lounging on the stern of Scout-About, then it moved up to the bow. We decided to close the back doors to keep the dogs from seeing it thus heading off an early morning bark-a-thon. Next time we looked it was aboard the Mother-Ship. Friendly little thing…we’re calling him/her Sue. Our dockmaster, Tim, told us we definitely would not like it if Sue decided to poop so we finally shooed him/ her away before we were left a stinky little present.
Michael did some research on iguanas and found an article in a local paper that says the Trinidadian’s call them “Pollo de Arboles” (Chicken of the Trees) because they eat them and, of course, they taste like chicken. Sue – you better watch out or you might be the featured dish on the menu.
Not much more to report just couldn’t resist sending these photos out.

You appear to be in your “happy place!” What an adventure! It looks like a wonderful place to hang out; a warm tropical climate in close proximity to the Bahamas and Cuba. So happy for you two! Might be the best place to avoid a corona virus. Be well!
Hi Jan,
Yeah, this is a happy place and we are enjoying our wonderful adventure. We also feel comfortable being away from the masses of people during this scary corona virus stuff.
Take care.
I wonder how it climbed onto Scout then Scout About? I think I would have named her “Burton” – like in Night of the Iguana with Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Harry had to find a shovel at the SYC outstation tool room because of what the cute little seal had left on our dock. Maybe snow for Puget Sound tonight!
I don’t know how it got on Scout and Scout-About. A little scary! Oh yeah, Burton would have been a great name….
Yuck on the seal dropping. Probably bigger than Iguana droppings. Snow??? Stay warm and stay well.
Sue was looking for lettuce! That’s what they feed them on Roatán.
Hmmm, I don’t think we’ll feed it. Better to see them from a distance:)
