Belize 2010_30

We woke up to light rain so I started to go through the GoPro video to delete the awful stuff off of Karlene's computer. The power went out so we all helped dad get the boat onto the shallows so he could take a better look at the engine and we scraped the bottom. Dad couldn't do much with the tools he had so we called it good and left it there until high tide the next day. We all swam in the pool to wash off because the water in the pipes needs electricity to pump it through.

We read books by the pool until we were all hungry and rode our bikes to the back street on the lagoon side where the Lazy Croc BBQ was. They didn't have power either so that just meant we could have anything that didn't need deep fat frying which was fine with us. Matt and I had the pulled pork sandwiches which were mouth watering and loaded. The rain came again and the cook pointed out a crock swimming through the lagoon. They don't feed them because they don't want their attention, they are just to look at.

When we got home Madre' and I took our flag design up to Kathy to get her opinion. We all decided on a great design and I cut it out while Kathy made me a cocktail. We made plans to get together after dinner to play board games by lantern light. Madre' and I went back downstairs and we read some more by headlamp. Kathy called us up about an hour later and we all played Strategy. It was really fun and the lights came on in the middle of our second round. Very fun powerless day.
