Full Moon party

These open weave sculptures are used for the Full Moon party held each month. Rumor has it that local politics are frowning upon this long tradition. The ash produced is hurting the environment….but…one has to wonder about the many other pollutants caused by boats, airplanes, cars and people…drat the politics!

Full Moon Party

The next photo we have we are in Trellis Bay (Beef Island to the east of Tortilla) for two nights. The first night we had a lovely dinner ashore, the second night was the ‘Full Moon Party’ on the beach. These balls are stuffed with cardboard and paper and set aflame soon after dark. Much dancing and fun for all. We took the lazy (cheap) way out, packed a cooler, jumped in the dinghy and watched from the water. It was very cool and we avoided the crowds. Some friends saw us and told up later that they wish they had thought of it as well.
