On Our Way

There she is with a bottom smooth as a baby's behind and in the eyes' of her owners, oh so beautiful! 

Don't see no blue

"Splash Day" was Monday, May 6th, 5:30 PM.
10 long, long days in the shipyard.  We are hoping that by Monday, May 13th we will have checked out of Guatemala and be, finally, on our way to Belize. A look at our torn, faded and tattered Guatemalan courtesy flag says its past time to go.

"Belize? I thought the next stop was Honduras." I hear you and we know, many changes this year. But after thinking it through we only came up with one reason to visit the Bay Islands - we have the courtesy flag. Didn't seem enough to make that sail to windward especially to islands that are not very cruiser friendly. Plus Belize and all those lovely cayes are calling to us.

We've spent a couple of nights at the dock cleaning and fixing up after the shipyard, then a couple of nights in Lago Izabel to make sure all is well and to visit the Agua Caliente (warm waterfalls). There's Roy with a very social iguana in the pools by the falls.


Tomorrow morning we'll get some provisions and head down Rio Dulce, through that magnificent gorge. Monday we'll stop in Livingston to see Raul and clear out. Next, cross the bar and out to the Caribbean -  Placencia, can't wait to see ya!


Guatamala Clearance papers are $80.00 US (Clearing In was $174.00. A year's extension was $264.00. There are no shorter extensions

Mangoes are my favorite provision
