We have been here for 2 and 1/2 months and, other than the few pictures of our new place, I am yet to post anything about our 2014/15 winter trip to Belize. I have grown so lazy. I am content to sit on this balcony and watch the world go by. My view from here is so perfect. Palm trees, turquoise water, water taxi boats, paddle boarders, wind surfers, kayaks, etc. all pass by (wind surfers and kayakers seldom share the same days. And if they do, it's not pretty.)
The sailboat has suffered a series of mishaps, mistakes and mis-whatevers. It took a long time to get the engine working and then, after finding a nearby dock where we could keep it, when Les went to take friends, Rob and Dennis, for a sail he discovered that it was too shallow for the 4 foot keel to get away from the dock except at the highest tide. We got it out one time before they came and had a beautiful sail that afternoon until the return leg during which the weather and wind turned wild and we came back heeled over on our side with me clutching desperately onto the boat in a total panic. I believe there may also have been some crying and cursing!
I have compensated for the lack of activities by eating and the combination of abundant and outstanding food and lack of exercise has resulted in a middle so thick I soon will not have any clothes that fit. Buttons and buttonholes are straining to remain serviceable as I speak.
We have really enjoyed our time here with Linda and Rob and new friends, Dennis and Barbara. Probably our best adventure was renting golf carts and traveling the no man's land of northern Ambergris Island. We will be going to Roatan for a week in a few days with Rob and Linda. Dennis and Barbara left for Gridley this morning.
