I would dig that.
I myself am planning a trip to Belize/Honduras area for either late this year, or early next. I haven't got it figured out yet (talking to the girl to see how she would feel about it), but if the timing worked, maybe we could float down together. Always better to have 2 boats than one.
Belize, and Utila (Bay Island) are out of the "hurricane box", so insurance companys don't mind.
I will say, it sounds like Billruffn know his stuff in regards to the conditions faced. I appreciate the information passed along, which is useful, and shows consideration, rather than the typical fear-mongering some other people spread.
I am not saying anybody else here is spreading the fear-mongering... I was actually talking about my mother. She don't like 75% of the things I do. In truth, every one who says, learn the boat, learn the waters, learn how to sail perfectly, and plan properly are technically right in that is the ideal way to do things. I am too anxious of a person though, and prefer to learn alot of those things on the road so to speak.
No doubt I may die in the process sometime, just as when I go on a climbing trip. But I would much rather die doing those things than getting hit by a bus on my way into work.
I am headed to Belize in a few weeks, and will talk to some sailors down there about the way they got there, and good routes. I'll let you know what I find out.
