The small rancho was packed with well wishers.

Over 50 friends, boaters and local residents, gathered Feb. 3 at the small rancho residence "Casa Mantequilla" of Hodwell and Sandy of s/v Bonnie at Texan Bay.

Friends came from Fronteras, Rio Dulce, Cayo Quemado, Texan Bay and Gringo Bay to wish her a big rousing happy birthday.

And, of course, the food was excellent and the adult beverages were plentiful.
