Anyone ever sail there?

Looks like a cool place:http://ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/island.html

Second largest reef on earth.

I spent 4 years sailing/diving in the area and have extensive logs and
photos of the area which are documented on my web site.

Great web site Geoff. It will take hours to cruise
through the whole thing.

A waste of space. 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?

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.

Don't even begin to follow this rathole downward. It's just another
ignorant post from Wilbur, Capt Neal, or whatever his real name is, and
replying to it only degrades the real discussion that people are trying
to have.

I check out your site pretty good, did not see a stop in Ambergris
Caye.

You would not believe the BS I hear from lubbers here.

Things like, go around Cuba to avoid pirates in the Yucatan
channel...no wind...ect..ect..

Ambergris Cay is the name of the cay/island. 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.

Been there but not by sailboat. Arrived by airplane and then by float
plane to the barrier reef. Pretty much a paradise aside from many of the
people.
