Bella Does the Sunset Cruise

Yesterday was yet another hectic day in our tropical paradise. Just when I thought I could sleep in following my adventures at sea the day before, a crew of men came in and took away most of our furniture to clean and repaint it. (Blame Shelley who is constantly changing things up!) I'm trying to learn not to bark at every moving object, but a bunch of movers first thing in the morning? C'mon!

The "Lady Leslie"

Well, another day at sea was planned. Friends invited us to go with them on a sunset cruise. Just before five o'clock in the afternoon, the "Lady Leslie" pulled up to our dock, and Captain Martin Leslie, his son Jodi, and his "future son-in-law" Ricky graciously invited us on board. (Talk about convenience!) Seven guests in all were soon ready for a quiet sail aboard the 38' catamaran. 

A genteel time. Pip pip!

Minutes after we left the dock, five dolphins swam over and played with us as we headed out to sea. It could have been a Disney movie. (What a contrast to the cruise on "No Rush" the day before!)

Sunset on the Caribbean

During the four-hour cruise we were served chips and dip, sushi, conch fritters, and coconut tarts. Although it may have been time for tea, the beverages included Funky Monkeys, Rum Punch, and Jello shots--all served tastefully, of course.  At precisely 6:13 pm, Captain Martin navigated to the perfect spot, the countdown began, and the sun set--spectacularly. Ah, another wonderful memory.

I adore teatime!

You can get more information about "Lady Leslie" and all it has to offer at www.ladylesliebelize.com. It's a perfect venue for weddings, I promise.


Well, it's time to get ready for church. Afterwards friends are coming for lunch. I hope they don't notice there's no furniture. 

Yesterday

Y'all come visit. We'll have tea or a Jello shot and admire the sunset. You're gonna love Belize!
