One Misty Monday Morning we Found Guatemala

Expecting a big crossing from Punta Gorda, Belize to Livingston, Guatemala, I was surprised to see land again within an hour and a half of raising anchor. However, it took several hours before we were within radio range and could call Raul in Livingston. On the recommendation of friends, we...
