Try a day sail and snorkeling to the North to Mexico Rocks or Mata Chica away from the crowds. If you like, try a (beach barbeque fish, conch, (lobster In Season) at an extra charge but well worth it because Geraldo is a excellent cook.

Well, let all rest easy in real time - no one touches a reef! That is not a pleasant experience!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Reef Crawling refers to the speed of our sailing sloop when compared with the modern skiffs presently in operation here. Those 40 footers with up to 1000 HP of outboard machines - traveling at well over 30 knots - carrying 20 to 40 passengers to a designated water park area in the morning for a diving or snorkeling &quot;experience&quot;. Returning full throttle in the afternoon to the resorts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We travel &quot;wide-open&quot; at best 5 knots! We do not carry more than two passengers at a time. (Though we have been known to make exceptions and carry three)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We start snorkeling and swimming right at the reefs, as soon as the sun stands bright enough - before the heat drives all the interesting sea critters into shaded areas - where you no longer can see them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We do not take you to a resort to sleep for the night - you sleep right in the reefs. You can dive until the sun stands down. We &quot;Crawl&quot; to a different section of reef each and every day. And never near where all the rest go.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Further, traveling at 30 plus knots on these choppy waters here is not a pleasurable experience if one does not enjoy &quot;pounding&quot;. But slicing though them at 5 knots and less is never a bone jarring experience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Motion sickness can be a problem. If we are taking first time sailors out - tell us! We keep to the smooth channels behind the reefs rather than cross the &quot;blue&quot; to say - Turneffe Islands - until we see what your sea legs are made of. In any event, you are not part of a group of 20 or more - but a private &quot;couple&quot; on a charter. We listen to what you want and behave accordingly. Communication is not a problem - silence of sailing is golden. But try that on a speeding skiff pounding through choppy seas at 30 knots plus her hour! Tell us what you want to see and we'll take you there.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How to present what our Reef Crawling experience is all about? Very difficult. So I am trying a new method. Following is a dialogue of what Reef Crawling is about.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enjoy the read. &quot;Reef Crawling&quot; is not for everyone. But If you like what you see - contact me by Email to make arrangements.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:23:03 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Sail Sports Belize</title> <link> http://www.sailsportsbelize.com</link><description>Why not try somewhere different for your Windsurfing, Sailing or Kite boarding holiday this year.
