| After a two year gap, Bob and Linda pick up where they left off - Seems they haven't forgotten how to buckle down to serious work |
| They're well acquainted with the best feature of the boat |
| All hands on deck to look for dolphins |
| Let's go back to Rendezvous Cay -- a splendid snorkel spot that also features free rum punch! |
| Heading north outside the reef the water colors are incredible - Getting back in proves tricky |
| Usually color indicates depth and about now Capt. Bob is seriously thinking about turning around - He hates reef cuts! |
| But the charts and sonar prove correct - with no appreciable change in depth the color simply changed! Welcome to Belize! |
| The weather is great, Bob's relaxing |
| So's Linda |
| The water inside the reef is brilliant turquoise |
| Heading north, we approach Cay Caulker, Belize |
| Sailing slowly north along the barrier reef |
| Yes, this is as shallow as it looks--less than 5 feet! |
| The Hol Kan Cut is a popular dive spot near San Pedro on the Belize barrier reef |
| We stop and let Bob scout the nurse sharks below us |
| Waves breaking on the reef - Its always a thrill to navigate a reef cut! |
| After stopping in San Pedro to clear out, its time to head out through the reef cut and north to Mexico |
| We share the reef cut with day-trippers in beautiful settled weather |
| Linda color-coordinated with the boat enjoying some tasty Chilean wine and a long overnight sail |
| We made it! Walking along the malecon in San Miguel, Cozumel after visiting the Port Captain |
| The entrance to Club Nautico Marina, Cozumel, ¡Qué Bárbara!'s home 2 years ago in foul weather |
| The inner harbor of Club Nautico Marina where we left the dinghy while we toured Chichen Itza |
| The rocky beach on Cozumel-- ¡Qué Bárbara! in the distance dwarfed by her neighbors |
| The all-purpose anchorage off Cozumel ( ¡Qué Bárbara!'s the one with the mast!) |
