Placencia Belize: Foilboarding King Lewy Island
It was our fourth day of the trip to Belize and the group decided to go to King Lewy Island a few miles off the coast of Placencia. We loaded down Taza Poco with gear for whatever the conditions may be and had a great trip out to this beautiful private island. Unfortunately we didn't have any wind to kite but regardless as you'll see in this video we had fun no matter what.
As we were leaving I jumped off the water trampoline and headed back to Placencia as the sun was setting. The sun was past the horizon and I made up my mind that I wanted to ride the whole 8 miles home. We strapped the Nocqua LED lights to the hydrofoil and put the Lume cube around my neck for extra light. It was a tough ride and took over an hour of blindly riding home but we made it and I was able to pump into the dock at the end of the night.

Amazing Drone aerial footage of some of the gorgeous Islets and Cays near the Belizean barrier reef. Exploring mangrove estuaries in the Sittee River where some say Crocodiles lurk and amazing underwater footage of the coral reefs and tropical fish at the Belizean barrier reef.
WARNING: Footage at the end of the video might be DISTURBING to some.
I felt compelled to share (at the end of the video) some of the frustration we feel with regards to the amounts of plastic trash we come across while out exploring remote areas of the Caribbean. The footage might be disturbing to some.
Every windward beach in Belize on the islands we visited were in a similar situation, but it's a problem throughout the Caribbean. I've shared the Caribbean's plastic problem in the past in smaller doses, but the Barrier reef of Belize is a World Heritage site and the World needs to know what is happening to it.
I think the reasons it's so prevalent in Belize is because of the prevailing Trade Winds. Trade Winds push West and Belize is the final stopping point. Plastic trash out here is a sad problem. It's more than just unpleasant to see, small pieces of plastic bags are seen as jelly fish to Turtles, many fish are filter feeders including the giant Whale Shark and as plastic breaks down into smaller pieces fish are ingesting it...
Plastic. It's becoming a bigger problem for Belize. Because of the constant push West from the Trade Winds the windward sides of the islands we visited were covered in plastic trash.

Cruising Belize Bareboat Charter Sailing
Here is a more detailed look at our bareboat charter in Belize 2017. This was our second trip, first time with friends. We had some serious adverse weather conditions which required us to change our sail plan drastically. We laid up in Placencia Bay for two nights. After a rough sail to Hatchet Cay we ended up staying ashore the second night as they had availability. Our first night aboard, while moored at Hatchet was quit rough, to say the least. Great time with great friends! A true adventure resulting in some great stories. Big winds sailing the off season!

Two weeks exploring the beautiful country of Belize. For a small country in Central America there is so much to do here. We snorkelled with incredible sea life, visited Mayan ruins, went caving, crossed the border into Guatemala to visit Tikal, hiked waterfalls in the rainforest, slept on a hut above the water and ate lots of rice & beans.

Nicolas Caye, Belize
These were 4 small islands at the southern most tip of the second largest reef in the world near Guatemala & Honduras. There was only 1 mooring ball which we did not get and could not anchor at the island of choice so we moved over to another island which we anchored at on the 1st try. Better make sure to set anchor well since this we had strong winds and currents but remained stationary throughout the night. Shallow, Shallow water all around here. We had great snorkeling here and there were a few jelly fish present. In the middle of no where and all ocean views made for a great sunset here as well.

Tropical Love (On Ranguana Caye)
|LYRICS|
When I got home everything was gone
She took it all but the kitchen sink
So naturally, I did the logical thing
I sat down and poured myself a drink
Then I got to thinking that rather than drinking
Alone in this kitchen all night
I could at least take this latest heartbreak out by the water,
And in the Sunlight
so...
I got on my phone and it didn't take long
To find a deal on a flight and a boat
Belize looked so nice and there was an island paradise
Just floating right off the coast
With my bag in my hand I stepped into the sand
And started looking for shade and a chair
And that's when I saw her step out of the surf
With a bottle, and the wind in her hair
Oh sign me up for this sensation
My heart's one vacation
I've learned my lesson I swear
And I dunno if it's the sun or the fishing or the rum
But my broken heart's been repaired
And now I'm soaking in the bliss of her saltwater kiss
Tangled up on the beach all day
Oh it's tropical love on Ranguana Caye
Call me an old romantic but layin' in a hammock
With her and a beer (or two)
Quickly became my favorite thing except
Counting all her island tattoos
But she was from Arizona and she had to go to
A conference early next week
And though my heart wasn't quite mended I just had to pretend
That her leavin' was fine by me
Oh sign me up for this sensation
My heart's on vacation
I've learned my lesson I swear
And I dunno if it's the sun or the fishing or the rum
But my broken heart's been repaired
And though I'm gonna miss her saltwater kiss
Layin' out on the beach all day
Oh it's tropical love on Ranguana Caye
After a few weeks of watching the tide break and
Howlin' at the moon
I had to get back before the boss-man sacked me for
Being M.I.A. since June
Took one last look at the sand with my bag in my hand and
Turned to depart
And that's when I saw her step off of the boat
With a bottle, and a Texas T-Shirt...
Oh sign me up for this sensation
My heart's one vacation
I've learned my lesson I swear
And I dunno if it's the sun or the fishing or the rum
But my broken heart's been repaired
And now I'm soaking in the bliss of her saltwater kiss
Tangled up on the beach all day
Oh it's tropical love
That's just tropical love..
Oh it's tropical love on Ranguana Caye!
