Off Campus

Getting off the resort, as we did today, was marvelously refreshing for the spirit and the soul. The main destination for the day was tubing at Crystal Cave near the Caves Branch River, but to get there we had to backtrack along the Western Highway, much of which we “missed,” having...

On Horseback

Our first day at Chaa Creek was both active and relaxing. Shortly after breakfast we embarked on our first activity of the day, a wonderful horseback ride through the jungle. In addition to me and Ellery, there were four others – a family from, of all places, Ardmore, by way of, of all...

It's Not The Destination

It's the journey. Or so they say. We started out at the crack of dawn, or rather, before the crack of dawn, to catch our 5:30 flight to Houston. So far, so good ... until we get to Houston and learn that our flight to Belize has been canceled. Rather than booking us on an earlier flight, we...

Placentia to Punta Gorda

We left Placentia on the 21st of Februaray to continue on down the coast to Punta Gorda, where we would check out of Belize and position ourselves to cross to Livingston and check into Guatemala. It was good that we planned to do short hops on this section of the coast, as the sea was on the...

Colson Cayes To Placentia

Today, we have found the jewel of Belize. Lots of diving and snorkling, as well as, a really picturesque village on a point of land with surrounding islands to protect it in the windy season. Here you can find most items you might wish to buy, and laundry service and internet are readily...

Caye Caulker to the Drowned Cayes

We pulled anchor again and are on the move. Today, we did a short hop from Caye Caulker to the drowned Cayes, which means that we are much closer to Belize City. We had some rain again today, after a late start. Yesterday, was too miserable to go to shore, so early this morning the guys...

Drowned Cayes to Cucmber Marine

Today, was a great sail. Good winds and for most of the day we could see Belize City in the distance. We arrived at Cucmber Marina by mid-afternoon. We are only about 5 or 6 Miles south of Belize City. The Marina inside the highest wire link fence that I have ever seen and razor wire...

Cucumber Marina to Colson Cayes

By mid-morning we were motoring toward Colson Cayes, in order to top up our house batteries. Cucumber Marina had not been able to hook us up to electricity. However, the wind picked up and ,as soon as, possible we hoisted sails, in a brisk wind that soon pushed the boat to over 7 knots. We...

San Pedro to Cay Caulker, Belize

From San Pedro to Cay Caulker we had a great sail with full main and part Genie. We average about 4 to 4.5 knots per hour. We spotted dolphins in close, but they did not stay to play for very long. Knowing the dragging problem at San Pedro, we carefully motored in toward shore and with...
