Heading off on a snorkeling trip in Belize, I snapped a shot of the MV Explorer as our catamaran sailed away. There’s nothing like leaving the ship to explore a new country – and nothing like coming home at the end of that adventure. The ship is waiting with clean sheets, hot showers, a comfy bed, and friends who want to hear your stories. There’s no place like (a floating) home!
