Richard and I were lucky enough to charter a catamaran with our Texas Boating Buddies of TMCA (Texas Mariner's Cruising Association) to the beautiful Central American country of BELIZE. Check out our photos by double-clicking "Belize Photos" just above this post.
It was a quick 2 hour flight direct from Houston and before we knew it, we landed in Belize City to catch a tiny little plane north to San Pedro (only 15 minute flight!) We chartered with TMM charters and took possession of a large catamaran. John Allison was the expert captain and he brought along his son, Chris, because his wife, Peggy, was recouperating from chemo. The rest of the crew were Patrice & Lee (who accompanied us to Croatia just a few years ago) and Jack Odam. There were 4 more TMCA couples on another catamaran, who sailed with us. We had a great bunch of people and traveled together to wonderful anchorages.
We enjoyed snorkeling especially at Tobacco Key and saw hundreds of gorgeous colored fish and eagle rays. Jack cooked us great meals aboard and we also enjoyed some of the local cuisine - curry shrimp and grilled fish with lots of mashed potatoes and cabbage (cole slaw like) veggies. Yum!
Towards the end of the week, the weather turned rainy - but the week flew by and before we knew, we were saying our goodbyes. All in all, another terrific charter with good friends and great times.

Looks like you had a big group go down with you. Did you get a chance to sail the Cat ? always wonder how that would feel.
