Robinson Cays
Here we sit, yet again. We were trying to make it north, and out of Belize to Mexico, but another cold front is coming in, Sunday night into Tuesday, from the USA (Damn Americans)! So, we had to find a good anchorage to weather the storm. Winds are coming from the North to NW and there aren't many good anchorages in northern Belize for that direction of wind. There can be squalls, as well, and the wind is supposed to be up to 30kts, and more with a squall (mini storm often with lightning etc.) So we are in Robinson Cays. We are the only boat here, which is good in that we don't have to worry about anyone dragging anchor on us...AGAIN...but bad in that it's kind of scary to be all alone. There have been some robberies, mostly when people are off their boats, and one boarding that we know of, but not here to our knowledge. Still a little worrisome and we'll both be glad to be out of here. This season has been very discouraging because of the weather and being hit by the Moorings catamaran. We still haven't received the compensation for that but they assure us that we will. More once we get out of here.
