I was in Belize in 1968, right after, or as, they were gaining their independence from the UK (Britain). As Richard Boote said, I am glad to see that it has cleaned up a lot. There was no development when I was there. I remember walking into Belize City down the main highway and the smell was overwhelming. I wish as an 18 year old I could have invested then, I would be very rich today. The Belize I know is full of wonderful people, hard working and proud of their country. The bad people I ran into were from out of country. I have many fond memories of Belize and would love to visit again. Evan from Corazal is my brother.
@@SearchingforCShels When I was there I lived with local families. It was a great experience, and yes the people are wonderful and warm hearted. I worry about their newfound "riches" and hope that the people of the interior profit from all the development on the coast. BTW, Belmopan (?) the capitol city was just a thought when I was there, Belize City was the capitol. Fond memories!
I've done those zip lines. Loved it. My old Army buddy and I used to go to Belize every other year. I'm catching up on your videos. I had a 40' sailboat that I was going to use, but fate and Hurricane Zeta changed that idea. Now I and my fiancee are looking at a trawler like yours. I"m retired Army and Kim will retire in a year and a half. We're watching your videos and learning a lot. Hope Shel is doing better with his ribs. I have the same condition. Had a tanker bar catch me under both sides of my floating ribs with over 600lb of torque in my late 20s. Had that condition ever since. I've learned when it hits to sit back and lean backwards slightly and focus on calming down into a zen like state and it releases like it would if it were a muscle spasm. Looking forward to meeting you guys in a couple years.
Sorry to hear about your sailboat. That is tragic. Thanks for the tips on managing the chest pain. I use a Backpod daily that helps a lot. See you on the water. Cheers!
Cyndi & Sheldon, So glad to get this video; your productions are our favorite v-blogs. The technical aspects so enhance your fun story lines. Tight Lines! Alan & Jeanne Cecil M/V SIGMACHI
Cyndi no need to apologize for not making it all the way to the next zip line station. Mass is an important factor in determining your terminal velocity and the momentum you carry to the next station - and you are certainly smaller than Sheldon! Sadly I wont be back in Florida for the FLIBS but hope you enjoy it and the interaction with your fans!
Said hi to y'all briefly yesterday, excited too see y'all today @flibs.. y'all are so inspiring! And yes Cindy my wife hardly ever makes it to the end of those lines as well!
Hey guys- previous F27 owner here - great price! I don’t recommend going electric as these boats are really weight sensitive - I think you would be better off with a light outboard and tank. Awesome Boat!!
I (Ally) almost moved to Placencia in 2016 - I was opening a resort and decided I didn't want to be away from my husband for a full year. Hoping to make it back some day - so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!
Hello to the 2 of you . Just was wondering when you would be posting again as I enjoy your videos and miss them . Hope you are well and enjoying Belize and wherever you are traveling .🤩🤩
Great video guys, cheers. We did the caving thing here in NZ (we call it 'blackwater rafting' because we're dope af! Lol) It's amazing and we have gloworms in the caves so as you drift and look up it looks like twinkly blue stars. Definitely recommend! Also you should try canyoning- it's a combination of sliding, abseiling, floating in rapids, jumping off ledges into pools, and zip lining.
We finally closed on our trawler last week so our transition from sail is complete. Thanks for all the inspiration. Hope to share an anchorage with you guys some day.
Great time guys. I am going to look at another boat, the Viking 50 this week. We will most likely go to the Annapolis boat show while in Maryland this weekend. If this boat deal works out, I doubt we can make the Fort Lauderdale boat show unless we fly. I don't think we can get from Maryland to Fort Lauderdale in a week. We really have to stop in Stuart to pick up the dinghy also. There is a new Bimini being installed on the boat that will not be completed until the 22nd, so no leaving before that if purchased. Are you planning on bringing the boat to Fort Lauderdale at that time for the show?
Where did you stay in Hopkins?!! Is there a link? It looks absolutely amazing and Belize is on my bucket list. Would really love to know, please and thanks.😃
Great Video guys!! I think I did the cave trip many years ago and that brought back lots of good memories. The Zip line video work was well done. If I ever get back to Belize I will have to try that. The scuba diving there is great - hope to see a video on that soon. Thanks again!!
So good to see you guys today at the FLIBS you guys were the first cruisers I started following years ago .. great CZcams channel !
Thanks Carlos. It was great to see you.

That was an amazing tour. I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you. I'll be right behind you soon, God willing.

Thanks Shamus, I think any woman would like to be told she is too small to to make it across the line. 😉
We will see you another time then. Cheers!
Love the mapping

Blackwater Rafting... I like it.
Leap of faith
We finally closed on our trawler last week so our transition from sail is complete. Thanks for all the inspiration. Hope to share an anchorage with you guys some day.
Congrats on the boat! Would love to see you on the water.
Enjoyed the video
LOL, I did not brake ;) Great video guys, some nice seamless transitions.
lol. Thanks!
Glad to see enjoying Belize...it surely is Unbelizeable😁 makes us miss it! Be back there in November and hunt you guys down in Bahamas 🥰
Thanks guys! Can't wait tosee you in the Bahamas!
Looks like your having a great time. I would love to zip lining if I could just talk my wife in to it. lol
Jeez, about time. Thanks and cheers you two! Nice shoes Cyndi. Lol.
I know right! Those shoes are sweet. Thanks guys.

That is great news Bryan. Hope everything works out with the Viking. No, we won't bring the boat down to FL, we won't be ready. We will drive down.
Zip lines are pretty safe…..one of the worst things that could happen though is to get your long hair caught/tangled in the wheels.
That would not have went over well…
Very nice camera what kind is it???
You are referring to the Insta360 One X2 camera?
Where did you stay in Hopkins?!! Is there a link? It looks absolutely amazing and Belize is on my bucket list. Would really love to know, please and thanks.😃
It is Seiri del Mar in North Hopkins.
Hi Guys, glad to see that you are enjoying yourselves. I just sent you a DM. Let me know if you want to try and meet up at FLIBS.
good video we hope to go soon but here it is pricy
The prices are relative. Some lodging might be expensive but food and drink is cheap.
It is pricey on the main island...out in the mainland especially Hopkins the local stays are reasonable and the local food is cheap and good.
All you 2 people do is work , work , work ! Would you please relax a bit ! Jealous of your life ! 🤪🤪🤪
Lol
Another YT vloger. . uninteresting people in interesting places . This has become a cliche.
Really??? If you don't like it then just scroll somewhere else.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 so lame
