May 30th to June 2nd 2013, Cayman Brac, Caveman Islands
Grand Cayman is too big and developed. Little Cayman is too little. But, Cayman Brac is just right: 12 miles long, 1 mile wide, and population of around 2000.

We used to refer to ourselves sometimes as “boat people”. I probably won’t do that again having just seen some real boat people.

– Only 750 of them in the world and we saw them doing it – Continue readingApril 29, 2013, Isla Mujeres, Mexico
We could see the floating island from our boat in the marina. One day, we took some time off boat work to visit it. Part artwork, part ecological experiment, the floating island and home need to be seen to be believed.

Geoffrey organized a fine afternoon outing. We went on a guided tour of the Marco Gonzalez Maya excavation site on the south end of the Ambergris Caye. Unlike many on the mainland, this site is (almost) un-excavated.

Tony took advantage of our new camera with telephoto lens to capture the excitement of the first ramp landing.

We did see some magnificent dolphins on our way to Ambergris Caye.
