Where
Helene, Honduras (called Santa Elena by the predominantly Spanish-speaking Honduran government) is a small English-speaking island, about four miles long and one mile wide, located 30 miles off the northern coast of mainland Honduras. It is separated from its nearest neighbor, Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands, by only a narrow canal, but twelve miles of ocean, dense jungles, and mangrove swamps isolate Helene from the rest of civilization.
