back from cruise

Bon Voyage, Diana Ball
Dianna and husband board tomorrow for their cruise. A tropical storm is
taking dead aim on Bermuda, probably will hit tomorrow. They could have
an interesting crossing.

Question about Belize
I don't see that local time or ship's time makes much difference. You
know that the ship's in port time is x hours so you allow your excursion
