    Crocodile bite

    Two days ago a woman was swimming just off the beach in south Hopkins and was bitten on the leg by a crocodile. Wild Belize. Hopkins is near where Sittee River empties into the sea and there are many crocs there. The sea water surges miles up the river, which unless it rains for days, is 15-20...

    Alert preferences

    I started receiving email notifications for all threads I participate in. Was my mistake but I have gone back to preferences and alert notifications and have unchecked all for email notifications. But I still get them. ??

    Setting time

    It's 10:21 am in Belize but the posting time on SB is 12:20 am. I had this phone in Thailand a few years ago, where it is 12:20 am now. How do I reset this to Belize time?

    Solved: How to change profile status

    Belize cubera. 90 plus feet free diving.

    Yesterday. Went out in the morning into some very wet and bouncy conditions. It wasn't too bad once we reached the reef 16 miles out. We have some nice snapper spots but yesterday they were a bit spooky and running deep. My son Jake did this video with a GoPro. I can't free dive like that. 94...

    Follow up on the "body guards used by locals to go to Belize City

    About a week ago there was a post in a thread about traveling between Belize and Mexico. It stated, and I quote, "keep in mind that Belize is a dangerous country outside of the tourist areas. Locals from Ambergris Cay will not go to Belize City without a body guard". I had never heard that and...

    Surgery for the Carrot Juice

    I have been noticing some "sloshing" sound when I rock my boat while it's sitting on the trailer. I cut a hole and put a port hole in the deck but only got a little water out. So, I decided to take it to some glass experts (notice the guys working with fiberglass, no shoes, short sleeves, no...

    spearfishing with a kitchen knife

    This morning Jake, Mo, Tino and I were headed to the beach to try and catch some tiger shrimp fry with my newly constructed net. As we were nearing the pump station for the farm, Cesar, the farm manager was pointing out into the supply canal. We thought he was saying "crocodile" but we threw...

    Tubbataha in May

    Ya man. Going back to my favorite place. Going with some buddies on an 85 foot banka and doing 7 days with Tubbataha scheduled for at least 4 days. If we're lucky a dogtooth tuna or two may die at Cagayancillo. We'll see. Spending some time in Iloilo too. I'm so stoked. Lechon manok, talaba...

    Water under my deck, how to get it out?

    This is my boat. This is the best pic I have of the deck so you can get an idea of what I mean I was jerking it back and forth on the trailer today and could hear water sloshing around under the deck, forward of the console. No, it's not fuel. I use portable plastic tanks that are near the...

    "Big Shrimpin" on the Discovery Channel

    There is a new show on. New here at least. Big Shrimpin about the Gulf shrimp boats. I can really relate to the crews. My kind of guys out there trying to make a living. BUT, the bycatch is unbelievable. I'd heard about it but never seen it like what you see when they dump their nets on deck...

    How many countries have you lived in?

    Kind of a follow up on Rhone Man's thread of how many countries you've visited or been to. And one poster stated that visiting, getting the passport stamp, going to the high rise hotel and seminar the next day before departing, is not really visiting the country. I have to agree. That's all I...

    New motors, old technology

All of a sudden, blah.....my 2006 ETEC 90 died. Dead. We were less than a mile from...

    Heavy phytoplankton bloom in Belize

    I've been diving here for 11 years now from San Pedro down to Placencia and I've never seen anything like this. We have green algae (I haven't looked at it under a microscope yet) in our water inside the reef from Dangriga (haven't checked farther north) down to Placencia. The secchi disk...
