| Who
or what is that don gato rio dulce person? I
am a retired Graphic Artist and Photographer. I still do a lot of the
things I
did when I worked for a living but now I do it for enjoyment and on my
schedule. I get to
do the projects I want to do and I don't have to worry about deadlines
or pleasing
anyone but myself.
The uniform of the day is khaki
cargo shorts, Hawaiian shirts and
flip flops. My
passion is photography, Flickr, and of course I'm an Internet junkie.
You can see my favorite
photos on my Flickr
site.
I live on my
sailboat, "sv Seaductress", in
Rio Dulce, Guatemala, which is a haven for cruisers and live aboard
boaters. The Rio Dulce has been known as the best hurricane hole in the
Western Caribbean for centuries.
The Spanish hid their galleons,
laden with Mayan Gold on Lago Izabal and the pirates came in after them
and raided their ships. The Spanish built a fort,Castillo San Felipe,
to guard their ships but the pirates repeatedly conquered the fort and
looted the Spanish ships.
This entire area is rich in
history and beautiful scenery.
I now have a domain name, dongatoriodulce.com, and I am hosting sites that I design. For more information see this page:
Web design and photography For info even more info Web Site Design and Hosting or Photo Shoots in Guatemala or anywhere on Earth, if you are willing to pay my airfare and expenses. Contact me at, sampsondon48@yahoo.com. |
![]() Mr Cat
was only a few months
old when I shot that photo, and
he
really wanted to get up
on the boom.
He finally made it up there, but it took him a few tries and more than a few failures to figure it out. A couple of weeks later he was all the way up to the bimini.
When I
went ashore he used to lay up there on top of the bimini
and watch for me to come back in my dingy with a can of tuna, a bag of cat food or something else he liked. He loved to eat. |

This was an
amazing sunset in Key West. My
best friend and I sat in the cockpit of my boat watching it change. I must have taken a hundred photos of that sunset, and they are all different. |
