The Hol Chan Marine Reserve is one of the more popular snorkeling and diving sites in Belize. Located of the Off the southern tip of Ambergris Caye and just a short boat ride away Hol Chan is Belize’s oldest marine reserve. The name Hol Chan is Mayan for little channel.

The reserve is situated on a cut through the reef. There is a vast amount of sea life found with the Hol Chan cut and the 4 zones of the park. Imagine the thrill of swimming along side large numbers of nurse sharks and sting rays and other assorted fish.

As Charlie is the nicest member of Pedro’s staff, we celebrated her 9th birthday in style. There was bbq and cake and of course Jager. Will SAGA complain about giving bowls of Jager to dogs?

Lucky for Charlie, there were no nutcases around to spray paint her again!Walter and Charlie

Cindy is a happy camper

info — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:27:52 +0000

Well, she seems pretty settled into her office and pretends to look like she’s working rather well. She now has lots of new things in her office: a shelf full of books for guests to borrow, DVD players and movies for guests to hire, a big red shiny CocaCola fridge full of drinks (especially beer – mmmmmmmmm beer), Cinnamon Buns, a coffee maker so that she can wake the guests up, a microwave so they can warm their Cinnabuns, T-shirts, board games, floaties, snorkel stuff…anyone would think she’s enjoying this!
Of course, we can’t seem to get her out of the pool, in the mornings she has iced coffee in one hand as she hangs onto a floaty with the other, and in the afternoon it’s a Lighthouse!
She keeps assuring me that she’s working really hard…

Walter and Cindy working VERY hard

A very important meeting in Caye Caulker

info — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 23:30:57 +0000

We seem to have very important things to do – I have since found exactly what all the “very important meetings” means exactly – Peter has been having these “meetings” since I’ve known him. Being now his official Girl Friday, I had to go on one of these meetings.

Here we are, happy on the golf cart to get the boat

Charlie on the backseat – she loves going for a spin

Here is the boat

How do you drive it?

Adonis eat your heart out – Captain Pedro made me weak at the knees (bwahahahahaha)

First Mate Charlie

I was complaining that there were no dolphins – as if on cue – one popped up and played

Caye Caulker in the background

Still one of my favourite boats

I tied it to a log! Captain P was not impressed

Lazy Lizard bar at the split

Swimming at the split and the collapsed seawall

Caye Caulker – all hustle and bustle

Doing very important “meeting” things – now I’ve busted him….”meeting” means eating and drinking….

Ouch – look at that sky, time to leave the island and get back to San Pedro before we get soaked

Being followed by a big grey cloud all the way home

A happy Girl Friday

I promised to not put the photos up concerning lack of mooring skills or make any reference to said lack of skills – oops – sorry

We had no idea how to get Charlie out of the very low boat and onto the very high dock – so Captain Pedro just threw her in the sea

Charlie walking back to the beach

And a good afternoon was had by all, we got back to the office slightly tipsy and slightly sunburnt – that’s always the sign of a good meeting!

Diving Blue Hole Belize

info — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 00:30:55 +0000

Well we sent young Cindy to the Blue Hole for the day and now she wants to marry all the crew at Pedro’s dive club. She said their boat, staff and equipment were excellent. The guys knew their stuff, were very professional and lots of fun too – must have been the super strength Panty Rippers after the day of diving!

She had to get up very early, pick up from the dock was 5.30am followed by the two hour boat ride out to the Atoll – even though Cindy is not an early bird she agreed it was well worth it. Thankfully, they filled her with coffee at the dive shop then she stuffed her face on breakfast, snacks, fruit and lunch.

She dove the Blue Hole and saw what she calls “proper’ sharks, black tips, reef sharks and a Bull shark – she was apparently slightly nervous with the Bull shark VERY close to her! Then off to Half Moon Caye wall for the 2nd dive – lunch at Half Moon Caye where there is the Booby Bird Sanctuary. Of course, she got pooed on! Then the third dive at the Aquarium which she said was really stunning.

If you too would like to dive the Blue Hole – just ask Cindy and she’ll tell you all about

Heading home after a great day of diving

She obviously had a Panty Ripper too many and her friends took advantage of her whilst she was snoozing on the boat and surrounded her with shoes. She’s still talking about the trip. Where should we send her next?
