Snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef

Puffer Fish

While known as the Belize Barrier Reef in Belize, it’s actually part of the Mesoamerican Reef System (the second largest in the world).  I’ve snorkeled this area many times over the last four years and this year I snorkeled it Continue reading Snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef

Stormy Morning

Stormy Morning

Good call Raggamuffin…postponing the trip was the absolute right thing to do.  You won’t find another company more concerned about the safety and comfort of their passengers. We were supposed to start a 3-day sailing, snorkeling, and camping trip Tuesday Continue reading Stormy Morning

Dock at Tobacco Caye in Belize

Tobacco Caye Dock

I took this photo on Tobacco Caye in Belize.  It was my final night on the Three Day Sailing Trip with Raggamuffin Tours.  This sailing trip was one of two major highlights of my trip to Belize.  And, it’s one Continue reading Dock at Tobacco Caye in Belize

Views of Belize

Rendezvous Caye Sunrise

This week’s #FriFotos theme on Twitter is VIEWS.  During my 2010 trip to Belize, I did a three day sailing trip with Raggamuffin Tours.  No words can describe the views that Mother Earth provided.  I was really enjoying my trip Continue reading Views of Belize

Two Different Harbors

Caye Caulker Harbor

It’s about time I post photos for Twitter’s #FriFotos challenge.  This week’s theme is HARBORS.  I’ve picked a couple of harbors that probably couldn’t more different from one another. Seward, Alaska – Small Boat Harbor Seward happens to be one Continue reading Two Different Harbors

How I Improved the Quality of my Underwater Photos

Coral Gardens - Blue Cast Removed

I’ve mentioned before that I have an Olympus Stylist Tough 8010 for underwater photography.  While the photos have always been a great source of memories for me, they have never been great quality.  I worried that I had purchased the Continue reading How I Improved the Quality of my Underwater Photos

Belizean Favorites: Rum Punch and Shrimp Ceviche

It wasn’t until a bit over a year ago that I tried both of these for the first time.  It was a snorkeling trip with Raggamuffin Tours on Caye Caulker that introduced me to them.  Raggamuffin didn’t let me down Continue reading Belizean Favorites: Rum Punch and Shrimp Ceviche

Snorkeling More of the Belize Barrier Reef

We left Caye Caulker with Raggamuffin Tours around 1030am.  While probably some of the most commercial part of the Belize Barrier Reef, Coral Gardens/Shark Ray Alley/Hol Chan, are very impressive in my opinion.  They plan the order in which you Continue reading Snorkeling More of the Belize Barrier Reef

Coral Gardens, Shark/Ray Alley, and Hol Chan – December 14, 2010

I was so surprised that I woke up early given my lack of sleep the prior evening and the fact that I didn’t have to be at Raggamuffin Tours for my snorkeling trip to Coral Gardens, Shark/Ray Alley, and Hol Continue reading Coral Gardens, Shark/Ray Alley, and Hol Chan – December 14, 2010

Back to Caye Caulker – December 13, 2010

As I mentioned in my last post, we left Placencia at about 6pm on the 12th.  I was briefed before I decided to sail back to Caye Caulker with the crew…the sail (actually motor) back was all about the crew Continue reading Back to Caye Caulker – December 13, 2010
