Roatan to Belize City




This is french Harbour Roatan where we spent 2 weeks and hope to return soon.



This is the first cay that we passed on arriving in Belize.


We Arrived in Belize on Friday 27 Feb. overnight from Roatan it was a boisterous downwind run and we arrived at the entrance to the barrier reef entrance at 7 am. As a weather front was forecast we altered course for Belize city and headed north. At 3pm we anchored at Twin Cays for the night. This is one of hundreds of islands off the coast. The wind was blowing 15 Knots from the north East so we had a great sail north to Cucumber Beach Marina at Belize City where we need to check in and wait for son John and Laura to arrive on Tuesday.


The fishing was poor but we had a fair catch of fish that gave up and jumped aboard during the night.We were constantly throwing flying fish back but these are the ones that we missed until morning.


Sometimes people come out to you in small boats offering goods or services. I think that it is an old tradition
