Goff's Caye and Belize City, Belize

Content from Tuesday July 27th, 2010:

We wound up today anchored off of the coast of Belize. We had planned going to Goff's Caye a little spit of sand located on a beautiful coral reef.

After a 45 minute boat ride, we wound up at the island.

After a safety briefing we heading out to do what we came to do... snorkel!

As you can see, there was plenty of coral and fish to see under the water, and with the Canon Powershot D10 underwater settings, it captured the underwater world remarkably well.

After playing in water for awhile I decided to explore this cool little island and snap some pics. My nephew found a barracuda head and I saw a Fritos bag so we decided to compose a little scene. Don't worry we threw away the trash in the proper place when we were done.

We left Goff's Caye and took a different route back. It was neat watching the ship looming larger every minute until we got back onboard. After a quick lunch, we decided to take the tender to Belize City and check out the scenery.

There was not a whole bunch of stuff to take pictures of in the hour we had before the last tender left but this bar was really colorful.

There is a river that flows into the sea here and makes the water muddy. The Dream was located quite a ways off shore.

As we headed back out into the gulf there was some pretty large storm clouds in the distance. Being you can see for a long way since you are a sea level, you could watch some beautiful cloud formations. I could have spent the whole trip watching the weather, which I did spend a fair amount of time doing.

Again the sun sets on another wonderful day!
