The last flag! - Having skirted along the outer cays and atolls of Belize, we headed north to Mexico. I went to the flag bag that we have been using for the whole trip to store our courtesy flags for each country and it only had one flag left. It was the Mexico flag. All the others had been used and [...]

Belize it or not! - Sorry. I could not resist! We planned an 18 month trip and we are now into the 18th month so it is time to head home. We have about 800 miles to go with Belize and Mexico yet on the itinerary. We could go nonstop or we could take our time. Or we could stop a few places as we [...]

The Rio Dulce is at sea level and Guate is at about 6000 ft. so the climb is steep at times. Plus it's mostly a rural two land road [...]

Sweet water! - After clearing in and getting our stuff, we pulled out of Livingston around noon and headed up the Rio Dulce through the Gorge.

It was going to be a simple overnight 130 mile crossing with light wind on a broad reach. We had done virtually this exact same run the last three or four time since Panama. [...]

Windy Roatan! - Now for something completely different! No long crossing overnight with squalls and big seas! From Guanaja to Roatan is only about 50 miles but the actual distance from one shore to the next is only about 15 miles. Never out of sight of land. No immigration or customs since we are [...]
