@r29g2000hsg.googlegroups.com: Anyone ever sail there? Looks like a cool place: http://ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/island.html Second largest reef on earth. Joe My wife and I were there 2 years ago and it's nice in a rustic sort of way. We didn't sail there though (flew from Corozal). We did our first ever snorkelling in the Hol Chan Marine Preserve and were suitably impressed. There many colorful fish as well as rays, nurse sharks, moray eels and lobster. These are the guys that took us out: http://www.amigosdive.com/ |

Just another New Orleans or Key West type destination with crowds of ignorant tourists catered to by greedy locals. Just look at the type of people in this thread who speak well of it. 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 |

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 |
