Bridge across the
Rio Dulce

 

 

 

 

Rio Dulce,Guatemala

We have another stamp on our pass port. The Pamela Ann is anchored safely just below the bridge at Shell Bay in the Rio Dulce.( Sweet River)
We were told by people we met a lot of bad things about the bar, like the sea buoy was not there any more. That the bar was so bad you had to get a boat to pull on your mast to hell your boat over while a tug drug your boat over the bar “if “ your boat could stand being pulled that way. What we found was not that way “ At All” but we did make a lot of plans before we came in. First we left Belize a week early so we could come across the bar on a full moon, a lunar tide. The tide is always higher on a full moon. We anchored across the bay at the Tongue of Honduras the night before we came in. There during the night the wind came around from the west. That made the anchorage ruff but gave us a lee-shore the next morning to come in on. This way we had almost no waves. We came in and hour before high tide just in case we hit maybe we could get off with the tide still coming in. We used the Freya Rauscher Guide book held a course of 225 true from her way point. The buoy is there but not where she said it would be. They say it gets moved around sometimes. We found 7.4 feet across the bar and only maybe 200 feet of that. The rest was 8 feet or more. Checking in was easy we used Raul as and agent we called on VHF 68 we anchored. Maybe 20 min later there was a launch with all the officials on board coming along side the Pamela Ann. They all came on board. Did there thing 15 minutes later they and 168 dollars US were gone and we were in. No crap about Rusty our cat, like they did in Belize. Trying the way they always do in Belize they did get another 130 dollars US from us just because we had a cat. What is it like here. This will take time. We will be writing a lot about what we have found here and it will take a while to describe this. There is a great different in the people here. There are people here that are living close to the way they have been forever and there are the very rich tourist that the poor can’t understand and don’t know how rich they really are. They can not understand how anyone could have that much money. There is the greatest distant between the rich and the poor here that we have not seen before in our travels. We don’t see these people as poor and they don’t see them selves as poor. They don’t know what poor is. The rich have what they need here but money won’t buy what’s not here so they may can buy what they want but they will have to wait for it to get here all the while the poor never see what the rich are missing they just go on with there lives. The first night here we anchored. The next morning a woman sold us some pineapples and bananas from her dug -out canoe. We could not believe a dug -out canoe. This is the way she gets around here they are no roads to the houses where we anchored. If you are coming down here and think you have so little money you might starve, bring peanut butter. Bread is cheap and you can buy more bananas here than you can eat in a week for a dollar. So you won’t starve. You can live on peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Wash your clothes on a rock in the river, sleep under a palm tree in a hammock and no one will even notice you are here.
Now Belize is another story. To come down here we had to deal with them one more time and there nothing in Belize that’s cheap. To check out we went to Big Creek. We took the “Hokey Pokey” ferry there in Placencia. The Pamela Ann was anchored well. The wind was blowing about 20, so we went around to the ferry in Dumpling our little dink. Ruff ride. It looked like we just went around the point to the ferry so we went that a way. Around the point you could not see the ferry we needed a chart so we did a captain Ron. We stopped at the first island and ask someone, when we got to the gas dock we ask where we got on the ferry they said around the side of the building you can buy a ticket. We went there. We found a fat black man there asleep. There was another black man there laying on a bench with a lot of cornrows in his hair but dressed the way I like to dress. A nice pair of shorts a very clean tee shirt and bare footed. The bare footed man woke up sat up and we ask if we were in the right place and when the ferry left. He said “Maybe 11:30 maybe 12:30 but sometime today.” A few more people showed up the bare footed man said “If they bring the little boat over it will go 11:30 the big boat 12:30.” 11:30 came, a boy brought a panga over looked like a home built boat fiber- glass painted with paint from a hard ware store long with a lot of seats.The fat man sat up and said “You need a ticket?” We said we did but we had been told to say we needed a round trip ticket. He gave us a ticket only one way but its cheaper if you say round trip that’s the way it is in Belize. Every thing a game to charge you more. The locals know how to play the game but if you are not very careful you will always lose. You don’t go down a ramp to get on the ferry you crawl over the side in a seat to go back or forced you have to crawl over a seat . We found a seat up front “not good”. The bear foot man stared up the boat Pam said is he the captain. I said that or a well dress thief either way we are going on a boat ride and we did a real boat ride around by houses between mangroves, islands ,over open water with waves, wide open water spraying.

 

When we got to Big Creek we took a cab to the port. On the way I realized I had been wrong in our blogs. I had said there were about 30 % white people here even though the books say mostly black. The whites here live on the coast at the beach and we didn’t see one big realstate signs any where after we left the coast they are every where on the coast. When we went to check out we were asked when we were leaving I said 6 tomorrow. They said “150 dollars.“ I said “Why so much?” He said “Six is over time, we are not open.” I said “Well we will leave at 8 tomorrow.” He said come back tomorrow.” I said “Just check us out now we well leave Now, we just want to get out of here.“ He said “15 dollars.” Like I said it’s always a game here “to take your money.” We would have liked to have stayed longer but it all ways the money everyday it the money. What we are going to miss in Belize is the water its great, the food is very good but the thing I will miss most is the music, good country music they love it there and it is true most people here are black. We took two cabs both drivers were black but both were playing very good old country music on there radios.

The trip down was good and no we did not leave the day we checked out we left the next morning like we planed. We are here in Guatemala now on a new adventure and believe me you can have and adventure here it’s every where you look. Just going to the market here is and adventure. There are some things that are expensive here like anything to do with boat but just living stuff is very cheap. There are a lot more boats here than I thought would be here but not that many people. They have left there boats and gone home. They will be back after hurricane season. We are going today to try and find a rebuild kit for our commode. Down here this could be an adventure. I wonder how you say flapper valve in Spanish? Or maybe Pam can help with the word commode. She good at charades.

The Village of Placencia, Belize

Placencia is a village we thought it was a big town. It has only one paved street but prosperity is coming. We are glad we came before it happens. The very first person we met said it best “Hay mon come on over set a while take it easy and enjoy the day.” He was setting out front of a bar under a porch in a chair all laided back taking in the ocean breezes. It does feel good just setting around and this might be the past time of the village. As we settled in we needed to get some clothes washed. Our new friends on the water front said “Just go up by the ball field turn left go around the curve take a left stop at the purple house she will wash them for you Ask for Big Thea.” We went didn’t have the nerve to call any one Big Thea. We just ask for the women that washes clothes. We found what we thought was the house. There was 3 washing machines and 3 dryers under the house. Pam called out to see if there was any one home. The house is built 8 feet of the ground on poles. The house looks like it was built by friends and neighbors and is painted purple. There was no answer. I pecked on the wall. No answer. I walked up the steps to the porch pecked on the wall. Some one called out come on in. I called Pam and said “Come up here with me.” The women called out again “Come on in.” We went to the door she said “What you want” I said “We need to get our clothes washed.” She said Set them under the porch how, many loads. Pam said “Maybe 3” She said “42 Belize dollars, You don’t need them today do you ?Cause you not getting them. Today we going to watch the game Belize varies Cuba ant gona-a- miss it.” I said “We need to do anything else?” She said “No just leave them down there.” So Pam and I left our clothes under the house. Pam said “We need a ticket or something” I told Pam “You go tell Big Thea you don’t trust her.” We walked on. When we came back the next day we paid her she said there under the house so we went down and found the bags setting where we left them. I said to Pam “This don’t look good but when I opened the bag there was our clothes clean and folded. Like I said this is a village where you don’t need a ticket just tell her what you have what you want and don’t expect to get them the same day if they are playing ball.
We found John the Baker Man ,you leave the road go down a little sidewalk that they say has just been put in not long a go. It was a little dirt trail Progress is coming. There on the side of a house is John the Baker Man, it’s just some studs and a roof covered with some boards stud up on end. You go inside, the studs have never been covered there is and old commercial oven inside. There is no health sticker on the door or on the wall or in any place we have been. The way they see it if you don’t like how clean a place is go some where else. It’s the best bread you have ever had. We bought a loaf of bread and had them slice it. I had never seen how they slice bread. They use and old machine that looks like a little band saw with a lot of blades. This one had a couple of blades missing, so what. We have a couple of thick slices.

Getting our bread sliced

Pam wanted lobster so we found the fishing Co-op. Lobster is in season but I don’t know how to catch lobster “Yet.” The fishing Co-op is in a ten building on the other side of the road. You can’t see it you have to ask where it is. They keep lobster and fish frozen in old deep freezers in and old building closer to the ocean. It’s good very good they freeze it fresh and sell it quick. Here work or what you do seems to be defined by race. The black people are the fishermen. Some still use sail boats to fish. and lobster. They are well built, well kept and I hope they can keep on sailing. A lot use Pangas, long fiber glass boats very narrow with big out boards. Sometimes they pull there boats up on the beach and sell there catch right there. I don’t like dark meat in fish so we haven’t bought any. When they start to cut up the fish they won’t be any flies but later the fish will be covered no one seems to mind.
The grocery stores are run by Chinese’s. All of them. One is a dirty little place we won’t go in again but the rest are clean and one is a good size and very modern. Like I said this will be a town soon and maybe that’s good maybe not. There one grocery store we go in most of the time there a young Chinese girl there that speaks most of the languages here. English may be what they say they speck here but there a lot we don’t understand like Creole or Mayan or Spanish or there what they call English spoken like a Brit using Ebonics. Its all hard to understand. This Chinese girl seems to be able to speak it all. The Hispanics run the fruit stands and there’s a lot. We have a favorite. A young girl is there 12 years old some times she is there with her mother but if she there she will be running the stand. There was no wondering about who is running the place. I would go there just to watch her work being so little and so wide open. The Maya sell things mostly their works, Textiles or maybe baskets they weave. They are wonderful but how many baskets can you buy? I bought a little basket Saturday the little Maya women offered it to me. I said “No” she sat down and said to one of her two kids we have got to sell something today somehow we have to pay for the ferry back. So what. “I am a sucker” I bought a little basket. I believe the Maya have the hardest time making a living here. The rest of the business are run by a lot of people from the states. There are trying to make this like the rest of the beach bar towns but not yet. The town just voted to stop a cruise- liner from coming here 4000 people let loose on the streets but the town is building a modern dock and have voted to bring smaller ships in. No more than 250 per day. How long will that last with the beach bar crowd voting and buy and selling property here. All the big real state companies from the states are here .My Granddaddy always said “One thing you can bet on. There is always going to be change.

More big Companies are here

We will be leaving here soon going on to Guatemala. Hopefully we can get our old home made schooner over the sand bar in the river and go in and see some jungle. If Pam and I do what we want to we will never be back here. We are on a one way trip where ever the trip takes us. When we first came in we almost left to go on but now I am so glad we didn’t. If you are coming down with the beach bar crowd and have to have things like it is in the states its very expensive If you live like the natives it not so bad we are learning. We are going over to the water front today to eat at a place where a women cooks on a old half of a drum grill with wood right there on the beach The pots she uses look let’s say well used and there are a few flies but it smells so good maybe she will have “Cowfoot Soup” that’s big down here .

Best food on the Beach

 

If we are late this week with the blog you will no we are still trying to make it to and over the bar in the Rio Dulce. Maybe next week we will have another stamp on our passport and we will finally have monkeys in the trees around the boat.

Placenica, Belize

One thing we love about traveling is how much you see of other peoples lives going on a round you. Look at how high this traditional Belize fishing boat is out of the water They just unloaded but look through the rigging at the girl taking a shower on the dock they came in a small car driving through. The girl went straight for the water hose when she saw it and yes Tim made this picture.

Heading South Through Belize

When we got to San Pedro, Belize we were tired. Bringing our old home built schooner through the reef with the wind blowing was a little scary. We were ready to rest. After checking in we made a quick trip around town bought a few groceries, went back to the boat to eat and went to bed. The next day when we went ashore we found everything was a lot more expensive than it is in the states. A can of green beans go for about 2 dollars 50 cent American money. To tell the true we were about ready to just go on to Guatemala but after taking sometime to look around and go shopping things stared to get better. We found we could buy meat at a meat market that is good, the best pork we have had in a long time it’s a lot like what we grew when we had pigs and did our on butchering ourselves, when we lived back on our on farm. The people here say it the Mennonites, they are great farmers. But the produce was poor so why don’t the Mennonites grow produce? Maybe they do we just didn’t no where to shop that seams what you have to learn to do down here is to know where to shop and what day its coming in. We never found really good meats in Mexico. Now we were enjoying great meals again.
We were told most of the people here were black that’s not what we found maybe one third. At least a third here are white with the tourist and the people that live here year round from the states the rest look Hispanic or Mayan. I still can’t get over how little some of these Maya women are. I want to take a tape and measure one but she might not like it. So the other day I went trough a door where a young girl maybe 20 was washing the glass, she stood up as I passed. We spoke I looked at the top of her head it was where my ribs start so I measured me. She was a little over 4 feet.
I hope I can say this with out making anyone mad or hurting any ones feelings but I don’t like to talk to people that speak that Belizean dialect that sounds like a Brit using Ebonises but they like country music here and some of the country music is old country George Jones country sung by people that sound like they speak that way. But when they sing its totally different and its beautiful. We leave the radio on now most of the time even the Spanish music is different here. It’s more smooth and slow. It too is beautiful and we listen to it day and night. The best is at night. We haven’t had the radio on much for the last 6 months. Maybe it’s because we were in Isla Mujeres, Cancun and Cozumel Mexico all tourist towns and the music there was for the young beach and bar crowd and we couldn’t take much of it. Down here I think it’s more for the general public and this is the only Caribbean country that speaks English. By the way there is a lot of people here that don’t speak English.
When we left San Pedro the wind had dropped to maybe 10 so we weren’t as afraid of the pass though the reef ,as we were coming in its 150 feet wide but there another reef just in side you have to make a dog leg to go out. We were sailing out in the ocean again headed south the wind came up to maybe 20 we were having a great sail but had waves. We were looking forward to being able to sail in side the reef with wind but with out the waves. When Pam and I stared dreaming about going sailing we had no way to buy a sail boat not even a little one. But if we went to the beach we would go buy Masonboro Boat Yard and look at boats for sell. We were young and had so little money we would drive all night from Greenville SC to Carolina Beach NC just to go to the beach stay all day then drive most of the night to get back taking our groceries with us this way all we needed was gas money. We called this the Kool-Aid Express. We were there one day a man was telling a grope of people there that there are 68 points of sail and he was explaining all of them when a old sailor said “There’s only 3 that’s important to a cruising sailor. It’s boredom, exhilaration and shear terror.” Its more true than most people think. Sailing out here it not like what you read about in sailing magazine were ever thing is like a dream. A lot of the time you are on your out here. No one to call if things go bad. The first part of the day was “boring” light air with waves by afternoon the waves had stopped and we were sailing in between Turneffe Island and the Reef, with wind and no waves “exhilaration.” When we got to the ship channel Pam wanted to drop the main sail to slow us down. Go in slower. We leave the VHF radio on, only by habit. There is no one on it down here. A women came on begging for help, her motor had quit in her dink and she was drifting away from her boat. She said she had two small kids with her. Pam stared to call her to find out where she was. She came back said the north end of Middle Long Cay. We tried to find out if she had and anchor or oars. We were over a hour away no mater what we did it was going to take time. Then ever time we call she didn’t come back. Now this might not be “shear terror” but it will keep your heart beating. Finally she came back and said thank you Pamela Ann a fishing boat helped us then she would not come back I guess she just cut her radio off. I can say one thing it can get real out here really fast. When we came in the shipping channel we went about a mile past English Cay then turned south. There on the north end of Middle Long Cay was a small sail boat maybe 30 feet anchored out a long way from the Cay, dink tied to the back. I think we had met them before they were from the Chek Republic. Why anchored so far out from the Cay its very shallow up there I guess. We went to the south end and anchored up close in the lee of the island no waves. There was a Belize fishing sail boat that came in with 5 small boats 4 kayaks, 1 dug out canoe They would anchor then the men would take the small boats and go free diving for lobster, come back to the sail boat then go some where else. They most likely were the ones that helped the women. I can only guess what she was going through being in trouble and having men that look very ruff coming to help. The fishing boat came back that night anchored with us. It came up a bad little thunderstorm. The fishermen put a blue tarp over the boom that’s all they had. It rained most of night. The next morning they were gone. We decided to stay one more day. The fishing sail boat was back that night the storms were back this time they came from the main land the wind was from across the bay big waves all night the wind strong from the north west and the south no protection from the island. The next day we left didn’t want no more of that.

Belize fishing sailboat

Now let me say something about some of the equipment we have on the Pamela Ann we can take on rain water in a tank for showering. We have not taken on shore water in weeks so sailing in the rain is good sometimes and we have a over head compass over our bed this way we can see the way she is laying at anchor. If she drags will she go on the rocks or out to sea?
Sailing on south our little schooner was sailing the best it had in a long time we discovered we had a counter current taking us south at over a knot. A little after lunch we had another storm and with in 10 minutes the wind stopped. Didn’t come back so we motored on south at 5 knots with one of our little VW motors just above a idle. Now for anyone coming this way there is no big brother down here no one in a hurry to put up a sign saying there is a small crack in the side walk. There is no buoy to mark the channels you have to find the channels. There a lot of people that have been here and ever where here and they have written a lot of guide books with waypoints you can find them easily. We use Freya Rauscher’s but its getting a little out of date. After we anchored we found Placencia is not a town with a lot of town stuff going on. It’s a little village with only one street paved. On shore we stared to look for what we needed one thing we found was the Fish Cooperative. There we bought lobster and last night we had one good size lobster and 4 small ones. When cooked I cut them all the way into long ways this gave us 5 pieces each of lobster with white rice and home grown tomatoes. We made a dip for the lobster out off fresh lime juice and butter. Pam made a little cake for strawberries. It’s still raining. But what’s wrong with eating lobster, listing to great music in a gentle rain, anchored in the clearest water you have ever seen in Placenica Belize?

Leaving Mexico

Well we have another stamp on our passports. We are in San Pedro, Belize. making the decision to leave Mexico was hard we love it there but if you are going to claim to be a cruiser you have to go somewhere sometime. When we left our old dock we anchored in the lagoon for a few days we didn’t want to pay any more dock rent. So Pam said maybe we could go to one of the real marinas for a day to top of our batteries and get Rusty our cat to a vet. Maybe even have air condition for one day. Believe me air condition in Mexico is wonderful even if its just for one day. Our old dock the power was so low it would just run the battery charger no more and it would take more than a day to bring them up if at all. So we went to Marina Paraiso it’s a nice marina. We call a place like that a gated community for old people with boats because that’s about what they are. We swam in the pool turned on the AC talked to people at the bar, that had been the way we were going. Every time we went back to the Pamela Ann it was hard to leave. We had AC. We had a vet come to the boat gave Rusty all his shots, fill out all his papers to go to Belize 250 pesos a little over 20 dollars US. Pam said we can afford one more day if we are careful with what we buy for our trip. So we did. We planned to check out the next day we gave and agent 60 dollars US to check us out this way we could enjoy the AC one more day and work on the boat. With an agent you don’t do any thing maybe sign some papers that’s all. Walking back down the dock we passed a beautiful little sail boat maybe 23 feet long at the dock. Glass boat but with a lot of bright work. We met the people on board and found out they had just come in from New Orleans. 11 days at sea in a 23 feet boat. They said they had light winds and only and outboard so they just waited and sailed on. This is what I call real sailors.
We checked out bought groceries, took on shower water we bought drinking water 5 gallons at a time poured in our drinking water tank, bought fuel. Fuel in Mexico is reasonable we were told Belize fuel was a lot more. The next morning we were up at daylight. Pam was up on the computer checking the weather. Pam said “I think we need to stay one more day.” I said “Okay” She said “The weather is fine but I think we need to stay one more day.” I said “Okay.” I went over to the restaurant to talk to a man that had just made the trip up. When I walked back Pam said “We are not going today are we?” I said “No I have made up my mind we are not going today.” Pam said “That’s good you made the decision not to go. < Like I ever really do.> The next morning we were up at daylight Pam going full throttle. We still didn’t have Dumpling our dink on board The sun was up before we left. I like to see the sunrise maybe it just means you have the hold day to travel and get the anchor down before dark . Leaving in the early morning with no wind and no waves you could see the bottom almost all the way to Cancun. It’s fun boating in clear water. We motored till a little after noon before the wind came up enough to sail but we did sail in to Punta Morelos. There we found some mooring balls we tried to ask some Mexican fishermen if we could tie to them.  Finely a Mexican with his hands acted like someone was hanging him and said   “Noche ” I thanked him in Spanish and we both laughed. I think he said we could hang there over night. The next morning we motor to Cozumel going a cross you could feel the current big time setting us north but we made Cozumel in the after noon and there was that little sail boat already there anchored out. Like I said Real Sailors.

We wanted to buy more fuel we were worried we would need it if the wind didn’t pick up. We went in to Punta Abrigo Marina there in Cozumel, it’s old has no docks everyone med- moor s that means you back up to a wall put and anchor out in front of your boat The hard part you have to get around all those anchor lines then set your anchor line so you won’t bump your neighbor. At first they wanted 88 dollars for us to stay there we were all ready tied up but they had only 50 amp power we use 30. We wanted WIFI. They didn’t have any. We said “We’ll just leave.” They came back said “27 US dollars.” We were tired so we stayed.

Cozumel, Mex

We didn’t tell them we were already checked out. Once checked out you are not to suppose to go ashore. We went ashore anyway. We were told just don’t get arrested then let them find you have all ready checked out. It won’t be good. We went in an internet cafe, we left our computer on the boat. We could not make them understand what we wanted. To check the weather I gave them a piece of paper with Wunderweather on it they all smiled brought it up so we could look. Back on the street we met a cab driver that carried us to the grocery store then waited, walking with us while we shopped to take us back to our boat. He spoke fair English he hold us a story about lazy people it was better because of our language barrier. It goes like this. There are people that if a truck load of money turned over and all the money fell out right in front of they would never leave their chair but would complain the wind was blowing in the wrong direction.

Cozumel, Mex

We left Cozumel early we didn’t buy fuel you have to lay to some old tires on a wall they lower the hoses down . I don’t know how you pay them. We went by our new friends anchored there in there little boat did see any one up . We had a little wind enough to fell our sails but not enough to sail . In water 60 feet or less there was no current but any thing over 200 you were in it big time. We seat a course for Punta Allen we ran into thunder storms all day by dark they were bad when we reached the main land of Mexico I didn’t have the nerve to sail in shower water with the storms being close to the reef and in the dark so we made little time against the current. We sailed to the lower bay of Punta Allen the next morning its big miles across only protection is the reef . The most remote place we have ever anchored. We anchored up next to the little Mayan village of La Victoria. They live there about the same as they have forever and don’t want to change but we did see lights after dark. We stayed there for one more day. We planed to make and over- nighter to Xcalak Mex. When we came by the wind was blowing to hard to for” me “ to try the reef cut so we went on to San Pedro Belize. When we got to San Pedro the land cut is “150 “ feet wide but there a reef just in side and it was cloudy we were very tired so we went for it . We called the port captain he speaks Belize English it hard to under stain on the VHF radio. It’s like a mixture of British English and Ebonics. He told us how to come through some how we made it. He called us said he was waiting on us on the docks so we anchored and went to check in very easy but they fined us 100 dollars US for bring our cat in without a permit you have to fill for 90 days before you come. So much for the Mexican vet. It’s pretty here. We are not planning to stay here long. We don’t feel safe here from storms. All we have is just the reef. The wind has been blowing around 20 since we got here. We are tired of being bounced around .Ever thing here is more expensive about twice than of the U S a lot more than Mexico but the meat here is as good as it gets especially the pork . The locals say it the Mennonite farmers. We will write more about what we found her later but you can believe me we are glad we are here not sailing not outside. The weather is forecast to get better and we will be on our way on to south Belize “ We want to see Monkeys in trees “.

We are happy to be in Belize. We arrived here July 2 around 2pm. It is beautiful here.
