San Pedro to Cay Caulker, Belize

Outdoor Beauty Parlour

From San Pedro to Cay Caulker we had a great sail with full main and part Genie. We average about 4 to 4.5 knots per hour. We spotted dolphins in close, but they did not stay to play for very long.

Knowing the dragging problem at San Pedro, we carefully motored in toward shore and with Steve on Bow Watch, selected a good sandy spot in which to set the anchor. Then we motored to shore and pulled the dingy up near the fisherman's co-op.

After negotiating a good price for some large lobster tails, the fisherman told us that a huge North Blow was expected overnight and is we wanted the best protection we should change our location and hug the far coast from where we were currently anchored. So, as quickly as possible we returned to the boat and changed our mooring spot. However, Ruby Slippers were unable to move because of their deep draft.

Lobster!

Over the next few days we were able to go to shore several times, but we also had one day when we didn't get off the boat due to rough seas! We visited and read and ate and then read some more!
