So sorry to hear of another loss - hang in there, and try hard to catch the bad guys.

Now that I look at the pictures I realize this is where we stopped a week ago today for a cold drink. Irm wasn't feeling well and we came to the beautiful bar to get out of the sun for awhile. I took a bunch of pictures because I thought it was so pretty there. One of the nicer spots on CC. What a tremendous loss. Does anyone know if the amazon parrot in the bar (I think his name is Buddy) made it out okay? Best wishes to the owners in rebuilding. mobunny

Hi all:

I am personally saddened by the fire at the Seaside Cabanas as I believe the Seaside Cabanas were a real enhancement of the quality of accommodations on CC.

I think Corozal Bay's comment: "Quite likely caused by envy & jelousy of others." is out of order and quite offensive to the people on Caye Caulker. Latest gossip on Caye Caulker is that some drunken folks from San Pedro did it. Of course, it is just gossip and has not been proven yet either. Until we know for sure, the how / when / why's of the story is all speculation.

I think it was quite ugly of Corozal Bay Inn to make such a sweeping comment without justification or even evidence. It is quite narrow minded.

Cheers,
Wendy

Seems to me you are doing the same thing Wendy.

Repeating something that is gossip is just that, gossip and can also be offensive.

I think it was quite ugly of Corozal Bay Inn (and Wendy) to make such a sweeping comment without justification or even evidence. It is quite narrow minded.

I thought she was just emphasizing her point and that's all I took it for.

How interesting that people from SP are involved-did you inform the police?or did the people who started this rumour do so?
Silkpainter put a message on the ambergris board which stated that somebody always sees and knows-good point of course they do!!!
There are some very aggressive/demanding/rascist drug dealers sellers on CC who are quite open about what they do-if it was me I would look at them before I looked elsewhere.The last time we were offered crack by a couple of crackheads in the Sandbox the people running the restaurant refused to move them from our table-they told us we would have to move them ourselves-this strikes me that they may have been to afraid to move them- looking back on this- maybe they had good reason.

Oh, sure... blame the criminal element!!!

Pedro, I think maybe the silkpainter reply you are referring to is on the "About Ambergris Caye" board under "Fire in Caye Caulker". mobunny

Mobunny you are correct and have amended post

Wake up Wendy. When I said what I said I NEVER mentioned that the arsonists were from CC, Iraq, or ANYWHERE. YOU made that conclusion. Also whoever did it did not LOVE the Seaside Cabanas or they would NOT have torched it. Maybe they were drunk, sober, stoned or whatever but they had hatefull ideas that caused them to do it. Sometimes envy or jelousy will cause persons to do drastic actions that ruin the lives of others. These poor people had their beautiful business destroyed.
In San Ignacio a guy burned down the Cahal Pech Nightclub because he was not allowed to enter for free. I wonder what his thoughts were?
