Just remember Susan...

you can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time...but never all of the people all of the time...don't sweat it ( or as Sweetjane would say don't get your undies in a ball)

Been meaning to ask you too...is Jerry's brother Alex still around?

Alex went back home (Toledo district). Their youngest brother, Galvino, is still in San Pedro and seems to like it there.

Hi KYSTYX,

We are sailing with TMM in February of 2003, so I'll be interested to hear your experiences. We are usually Moorings charterers, and have sailed the BVI, Abacos and Grenadines on several occasions, so this TMM/Belize experience will be a new one for us on many levels.

Based on my land-based experience of San Pedro a few years ago, and information I received on this Board, I expect to do all of our provisioning in San Pedro, other than having TMM order and have delivered our supply of Belikin and bottled water. (I've done full and split provisioning from the charter companies -- usually a bad idea for us -- as well as bringing food from the States. On on our last several charters, I have gone with nothing more than a tentative menu, a shopping list, and some essential spices, and this has been the most satisfying). We like to eat local seafood, and that sounds plentiful and easily obtained; with basic ingredients that we shouldn't have too much trouble getting, and a little creativity, I think we'll be fine and not bored. But what you do about provisioning really depends on how hard you want to work, what kind of food you want to eat, your budget, etc. Feel free to e-mail me for ideas.

We are going to be staying at TMM's condo the nights before and after our sail. Two bedrooms will fit our entire crew, and the rate is only $175.

Fair winds,
Sailor Girl

Thanks Sailor Girl. That's pretty much the way we thought it should go. We are staying in the condo also plus the night before on the boat if it is available. We are staying a couple days after the charter. Do you have a place you recomend? We don't need anything fancy, just clean and centrally located.

KYSTYX, with respect to post-sail lodging, I don't have much advice to offer, since it's been a few years since our last visit (we stayed at Ramon's). You should be able to get a lot of information about lodging from this Board; I posted a week or so ago about "Pre- and Post-Sail Accomodations" and received a few responses, and other postings have resulted in a lot of info. (I personally was tempted by Steve and Becky's Cute Little Hotel...)

If you really want to see the Belize waters and reef check out this all inclusive adventure! //AmbergrisCaye.com/reefcrawl/

The diary of the reefcrawl adventure is one of my favorites. I re-read it when I really want to "feel Belize", and hubby and I agree that we want to do this someday. It sounds magical.

I have done my own provisioning in San Pedro several times and can answer most all your questions. You can reach me at [email protected]
