Sailing on the Marine Reserve of the Sapodilla Caye of Belize

I've just come back from a weeks holiday with my sister onboard a sailing boat. It was incredible! We started off in Rio Dulce in Guatemala, then sailed down the river to Livingston on the coast.
Sunset over Rio Dulce.

Then we sailed out to the Barrier Reef of Belize -- the Marine Reserve of Sapodilla Caye. Incredibly clear waters....

... even with no land for miles around, the water was as shallow as 5 feet with pure white sand, where the coral grows. We saw loads of amazing fish, sting rays, star fish - (but no photos - sorry!)

The full moon over the boat was stunning.

This is Nicolas Island

The Captain and crew went snorkelling every day and caught enough fish and lobster and crab for us all.

Our fellow sailing companions ... the boys.... Joe, Odd and Angel.

.... and the girls....Cat, Rosie, Beth, Emma, Lina, Mareya and Jen.

..... and the Captain, Raul

Our boat --- from Livingston.
