We're running out of time and need to get to our hurricane hole in June. We make an 8 day passage from Isla Mujeres Mexico to the Rio Dulce in Guatemala. Our boat gets tipped and towed across the bar at the mouth of the river, then we make our way through a beautiful jungle canyon. We explore a remote indigenous settlement by dinghy and check into our marina where we experience some pretty amazing wildlife encounters.

Probably some lobster under that piece of corrugated metal at the first anchorage.

Sorry, I'm watching your episodes out of order lol. Why did you not stop in Belize? Do you have AC in your boat? Do all boats have to hire a guide to go over the bar? You've sold Guatemala to me, now I have to convince Steve. Really enjoyable episode, thanks 🥰⛵

We had to skip Belize on the way south because we needed to get to the Rio for hurricane season starting in June and our weather window dried up. Knowing what I do now, I’d probably arrive in July. We’ll hit Belize on our way out. Not everyone needs to be tipped and towed, only boats with deep drafts. We do have AC, but electricity is expensive at the marinas so we only used it sparingly. It also makes people cocoon on their boats. You have to acclimate to the heat.
