It was a near thing and we had contingency plans in place but the hurricane headed South and we are now all sat in Caye Caulker. As we all packed our things to go to Belize my eyes were on the web sites that had hurricane Felix heading straight for the small island that was going to be our home. We had additional accommodation booked and ready in San Ignacio if we needed it, organized by my good friend John from Sea Sports Belize, but as it turned out we didn't need it.
The plane was delayed for 2 hours before take off because they couldn't start the engine and had to do it "manually" - anyone got jump leads! The end result was that we missed our connection and had to spend the night in a swish hotel in Houston. The cayes off Belize had all been evacuated so we would not have got there anyway so nothing lost. In the morning it was an early flight to Belize, clear blue skies and not even a hint of a storm!
So here we are! Went for the first dive yesterday and heading off to Spanish Caye today for a couple. We all splashed out on Lobster last night - well it was only $10 so a bit rude not to!
I will give you more updates as and when they happen.
