Starting on April 30, 2011, I departed Texas on a Greyhound Bus for Florida to begin an adventure on the open waters
of the Gulf of Mexico and beyond. This blog is an account of my journey and a way for my family and friends to follow along.

Mission complete: Safely landed in Texas on June 26, 2013

Just a quickie

Well we got holed up in Puerto Aventuras due to poor weather farther down south.  Hopefully we are leaving tomorrow or the next day.  Still looks like a rough sail to Belize.  Have the foulies ready.

As for Puerto Aventuras, it's a luxury resort complex that has a multitude of lagoons where tourists can interact with dolphins, manatees, and sea lions for a fee of course but to watch is free.  There are shows throughout the day so it's always entertaining.  No matter how old or grumpy the guys are who go in the water with their families, they always get a child-like grin when they are getting pushed through the water by the dolphins.  Not sure what exactly is happening below the water line but it looks like a good time.

I took one of the days to go diving with whale sharks.  Figured most folks were tired of reading long blogs from me, so I spent some time and made a short video.  I put it on Youtube.  Here is the link:

Enjoy.  (There is audio)

Also, one of my friends submitted one of my pictures to a USA Today blog and it got in.  The link is on the right.

Hopefully the next time you hear from me, I will be in Belize.

Cheers,
JB
