I'm looking for a marina in Belize to leave my sailboat during
christmas period.


Your only choice is Cucumber Beach Marine which is just south of
Belize City. Virtually all of the information that you need is
located he

======================================

What kind of watermaker did you end up with and how is it performing?


I ended up with a Village Marine "Little Wonder" which is supposed to make
10.2 GPH at about 16 amps. However the membrane was faulty and it was only
producing around 7.5 GPH. I had to haul the membrane back from Guatemala,
ship it to them, have them determine that the membrane was at fault, and
now I have to ship the new membrane back to Guatemala and pay shipping and
duty...I'm not happy about that, but otherwise I'm pleased.

This is a KISS-type watermaker, which is what I want. I had a Sea Recovery
unit, but it drew too much power and was too complex for maintainability
where I cruise.
