coverage that gets you out
on the water and having fun
knowing you're protected.
Chilling at Thatch Caye's Serenity Point.
itself (we don't have enough depth to go
in ourselves), a fishing boat carrying two
men sporting bandit-style kerchiefs and
straw hats to combat the bellicose sun,
idles while its occupants pause to say
'hello'. That's it for traffic today.
Welcome to solitude.
Next day it's civilization Belize-style.
We make our way to South Water Caye. a
gorgeous islet decorated by swaying palms.
It boasts an alabaster beach, a handful of
docks and two actual resorts. True, we see
more pelicans than people as we steer for
South Water through a protected marine
reserve, but it's all relative.
"Congestion's getting to me," says Ed,
as we dinghy into shore in search of a
shore-bound galley after we anchor off
South Water.
"Blood pressure's rising," I say.
No free tables at either Blue Marlin
or Pelican Beach (Touzé did warn us to
get an early start on reservations) but a
delightful and rustic establishment that
reminds me of a summer camp dining
hall (International Zoological Expeditions) has both food and room.
Our repast proves delicious ("I've got
chicken, fish or shrimp," says Paulette,
the cook at IZE), accompanied by a
pleasant conversation with a couple at
the next table over, guests on a skippered holiday on the Dream Yacht
Charter boat sharing our anchorage.
But it's back to nature next morning,
sailing north, hugging the inside of the
reef, dropping the hook just south of Tobacco Caye for an hour-long snorkel
where we're entertained by a prowling
lobster and a slow-moving conch,
colourful brain and fan and elkhorn
coral for backdrop.
At our next waypoint, Thatch Caye, we
discover another defining characteristic of
a Belize bareboat charter.
Cruise here and your Circadian
rhythms decelerate to island time.
Case in point: on Saturday Touzé had
conducted the Dream Yacht Charter
briefing in a pair of floral print swim
trunks and barefoot.
Case in point: the thatch-roofed cottages perched on stilts over the water offer
panoramic views of cayes devoid of human
habitation; a gazebo at "Serenity Point"
sheltering a hammock Ed occupies for a
late-afternoon siesta.
Case in point: a lunch stop at Moho
