Grennels Cay to Placencia, Belize
Very rough choppy conditions in Belize city Anchorage so we decided to leave and go south towards Guatemala and bypass check in in Belize. We have heard of the challenges, fees, and so have decided to move on. Sailed in 18-24 knot winds to small uninhabited island.

Fort George to Grennels Cay, Belize
11-21 knots wind close reach to beam. Waves up to 7 feet. Captained boat with Michael during day with Bokensha and switched in late afternoon at Mahuhal Cruise port with Mark and Michael while slowly moving to carry on to Belize. The swell was too big and unprotected to anchor in Muhuhal. Michael needed internet to work so we sailed together during work hours since his Starlink quit. A boat with flashing lights seemed to zoom by and then turn around and track us just after dark. Novastar who was 5 nm ahead forewarned that they just inquired with a boat that seemed to track them and it was some sort of authority. We did the same and they wanted to know who was aboard and our intentions. The sail at night averaged 8 knots even with a reef. It was a fast sail under full moon and amazing.
