Ahhh, Belize

Here we are delivering beer and coleslaw to the chef to complete lunch. Jungle is in the background.

The next day Jenee and I sailed 10 miles to Rendevous Cay. This small island was recently set up to entertain scuba divers coming off cruise ships on Weds and Thurs. Delroy lives alone on the island and keeps it sparkling for guests. He not only let us use it, but made us lunch - conch stew.

You do this. We got the run of the place as long as we cleared out by 5PM in time for the next 32 guests. ($200 per person per night, all inclusive - worth it)
When you see something like this ...

So we pull into Belize from Guanaha - a 124 mile overnight sail for Jenee and me. The first land in Belize we hit is the Turnefe (turn-eff) Islands national park. We tried to come in direct but the way in was too dicey, so we anchored elsewhere and came in by dinghy to the Turnefe Island Lodge - another piece of Paradise. It's a small resort for Scuba/Snorkel/Fishing enthusiasts that we would highly recommend after a personal tour from one of the staff.
