Michelle's Wet Stay

Day I
Rain! Did I mention it was raining? The flight from T.O had to detour via Belize. We made it – eventually. Two hours late. The girls must have either loved me or wanted their goods because they waited for me. After a quick tour and roadside pee, we ventured off to provision. It seemed that we needed just a little! Unfortunately, I felt a little under the weather, and we had to postpone the Lobster/Champagne dinner until later.
Day II
It was still raining! We played games – Mah Jong/Sequence/Dominoes. And we chatted. It was still raining. We took a quick tour of town – the rain had done it’s damage. Finally, we had a break in the afternoon. We took the chance, and went snorkelling. We saw blue tangs, squirrel fish, grouper, banded butterfly fish and all kinds of coral! Wonderful! Then I took off my fins – not even blisters as there was no skin left! Yikes!
Day III
It was still raining. We got a break, and Cheryl and I walked the beach to West Bay. We saw a rainbow, a rickety old metal bridge, an ant hill, and lots of garbage along the shore. Cheryl let us play Mah Jong in the afternoon, as my feet were too sore to snorkel.
Day IV
It was still raining. Cheryl cleaned the boat in her underwear! We got to play Mah Jong again – thanks Cheryl. The evening brought appetizers and drinks at Somerset 33. What a great group of cruisers.
Day V
Off to town with Niki Wiki to see the Botanical Gardens. What a hike. Good thing we had our guide Scout. The view was great from the top. Back down to see the medicinal plants. A quick trip to Anthony’s Key – dolphins, gift shop and back in the collectivo to town. Slippery Sues offered good burgers and company. Thanks girls!
Day VI
A lazy day. It rained again in the morning. Have I mentioned the rain? We really did not do much. Cheryl was off – out and about and Karen and I had a great chance to catch up.
Day VII
Last day. It rained again, and then the skies opened. The sun came out, and what a beautiful sight. Plus, it was Daytona 500, so a trip to town to see the race was required! The girls went for a snorkel, while I caught the last of the warm sun before heading home. What a great visit. Thanks Interlude IX.
