After days of bouncing around on the road, we arrived at Jaguar Reef resort,
it's pretty sweet.

Jim's plan is to use a combination of boats from the US and some built in Belize. Before we left the US, we put a flats skiff on a container ship in Miami and shipped it to Belize. We hung out in Hopkins a couple of days waiting for the ship to arrive and then drove up to the port in Belize city to pick it up.

We arrived in Belize city to the chaos of a political rally in full swing.

Driving out of Belize city is trippy, The road goes right through the middle of the cemetery.

It must suck to visit your relatives in the median.

This is nice to follow, thanks.

What's the rough cost of shipping a skiff to S. America? How about in terms of paperwork?

Quality power line shots! :D The rest are quality too.

I wanna be there right now. Can't wait to see the next installment!

it is true that all the cool cars get sent to third world country, my good friend was from Belize he had this amazing toyota diesel with metal bench seats and big black clouds of smoke when it went into 2nd gear

I think it was around $1,400.00 Not much paperwork on this end. About 4 hours of paperwork on the Belize end and $$$
