I’ve been doing some diving the past three days with Coral Scuba Dive Center here in Isla Mujeres. The first two days we did shallow dives on the reefs in front of the island. Easy diving and interesting fish and coral to look at. Nurse shark picture taken by Mark L. on our trip to Cozumel […]

  Manana in Spanish means tomorrow. In Mexico manana always means tomorrow or the next day or the next. Quien sabe? Well… that kind of sums up our plans at this point. We will not be crossing the Gulf with Cpt. Jim back to Texas. Jaime’s inner ear thing is finally calming down and Cpt. […]

Update.We made it to Isla off of Cancun yesterday afternoon around 4pm. We are currently tied up at a marina and have WIFI access and most importantly unlimited hot showers. For those of you that read my last post and were concerned about an outbreak of cannibalism on the boat, the good news is that […]

We’ve been getting hit by squalls lately generated by tropical waves (low pressure systems) with 35 knot winds and torrential rains. The good news is that we filled our water tank with fresh rainwater. The bad news is that we have some cabin fever setting in and I’m wondering when we will all go mad […]

Weather is still here so I ended up doing some diving with Frenchie’s in Caye Caulker. We did two dives on the South pass of the reef about 80 feet max. The dive master was entertaining and they seemed like a good operation so I signed on for a trip to the Blue Hole the […]

We left Caye Caulker on 6/18 and headed to Ambergris Caye. When we arrived at AC in the afternoon we found La Isla Bonita not so much Bonita as bonkers. The anchorage was bombarded by jet skis, dive boats, and water taxis coming and going at full throttle. When did they get jet skis??? Landing […]

We left Belize City Sunday and headed for Caye Caulker. It’s a very laid back place and we’re enjoying the pace after a few days in Belize City. Sunday was the start of lobster seasons and the local boats are bringing back a lot of bugs. We have caught a few via the sling but […]

Jaime and I took the bus to the Belize Zoo today. It seems to be well run and we liked the compact size since we tend to skim through museums and zoos eschewing the long winded tours. Tapir trying to sniff my lens.   Cute Cotamundi looked like he wanted to escape with us. The […]

Cpt. Jim and I took the bus into Belize City today for some boat supplies and food. The price was right at $2 each round trip for four different buses (old American school buses). If you have heard anything about Belize City I’m sure it has all been bad and no doubt it can be […]

We finally left Placencia on 6/7. We were starting to think that Placencia had some kind of vortex sucking us in and not letting us leave. Capt. Jim couldn’t believe the number of days that we had been tied up at the marina when he asked me. No question we will be back some day […]
