Fags, liberals and morons. Sorta proves my point, doesn't it? Any place where you can't anchor without seeing another human being for a week is not a place I want to be visiting. Tourist trap destinations are so degrading. The people who frequent them are losers. Ask yourself do you really want to voluntarily rub elbows with people like that? Wilbur Hubbard Willy boy, you are about half right. One does hate rubbing elbows with the proletariat. On the other hand rubbing elbows with Wilbut Hubbard would be unthinkable.

The major town is San Pedro, which you'll see indexed under in the Belize logs. (Actually, I just changed the log report title to "Ambergris Cay: San Pedro" to match the format of other log titles.) I really dislike anchoring at San Pedro. The holding is very poor and you have to dive on the anchor to set it. What makes this really bad is the water taxies and dive boats that FLY through the anchorage and have come very close to running me over while swimming out to the anchor. Between the reef cut at San Pedro and the high speed boats, this is a very rocky anchorage. San Pedro is an immigration/customs location, and every 30 days you need to re-do your paperwork. That's a royal pain. At the N end of Belize, your choices are San Pedro or Belize City. Due to security issues, you can't leave your boat unattended at anchor at Belize City, so you have to go into Cucumber Beach marina, which is often full. I tend to anchor at Cay Caulker and take the water taxi over to San Pedro. Alternately I'll bring BlueJacket there and head directly back to Cay Caulker after doing paperwork and re-provisioning. -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org |

We loved it. We spent the vast majority of our time diving at the atols, but one season were stuck behind the barrier reef waiting for the winds to relax so that we could get out there. We made the best of that time by exploring the cays of Belize. One of our stops was Blue Field Range.

By the time we anchored, they were all gone, and we had the rest of several days to ourselves. We met some local fishermen, who in exchange for some books and sodas, took us to their make-shift camp and to their fishing cages, and showed us how they fished. Very nice people. You're the first person I've heard from who actually has been there.. :-) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
