Patting ourselves on the back for being such good little doobies and getting a proper night's rest, we all met up for a day of sun and fun on the SEAduced Catamaran. The crew, Sylvan, Leon and Jody, took great care of us and we had an amazing day.Eighteen of us made the trip, each bringing something yummy to eat and drink, making for a fine feast. We sailed north along the shoreline and anchored off of Mexico Rocks near some huge coral heads. Birdie and I braved the odd currents (no doubt some part of Gustav) for some snorkeling and saw our first nurse shark.


Jody chillin'.


Beautiful Belize shoreline and the pier at Wet Willy's.

Tanned and tipsy, we poured ourselves off the boat and on to the next event: a birthday party for Don, the owner of Crazy Canucks. Boy, does this island know how to party!! There were water baloons, party games, fire dancing and even a pinata! All this, on what had to be the hottest, stillest, stickiest night in San Pedro's history.


Taco Paul and Cindy hamming it up.

Lara and Paul treated us to some fire-dancing. (Lara, please accept my apologies for my "darling" husband. He's got a thing for women with flames!)

To noone's surprise, Cindy and I left our "better halves" to make their own way home. Plans for breakfast at Estel's the next day were confirmed and we both went home to hit the sack. Cindy (a far more patient and understanding woman than me) baby-sat the boys when they turned up at her house at "o-dark-thirty" and finally sent mine safely home in a cab. Tomorrow would be rougher on some of us than others. 


More to come........
