Pictures from Paradise - Belize Trip a Huge Success

It's official - our first international flotilla was a wonderful success! The three catamarans enjoyed tons of sun, a year's worth of fresh lobster and fish, the occasional libation, and, of course, some sailing.  The pictures below are from Guenter Meiburg, who was a Cruising Catamaran student on John Connolly's boat, a Leopard 45 named Toucan.


The three catamarans at anchor - notice how shallow the waters are.  Navigation between cayes is more challenging than the Caribbean, as often times you are sailing in 6 - 10 feet of water.  Don't forget your cruising guide!



Toucan anchored at Tobacco Caye.



 The dinghy docks at Tobacco Caye - strategically located at the entrance of one of the only bars on that small island.



The Crew (from left to right) Guenter Meiburg, Al Hansen, and Marc Wilson enjoy a stop at the local watering hole before heading back to the boat for a relaxing sail to the next caye.
