Why Can't I Say "No"?

My friends call me for help when they get stuck in Belize. "No" is not an option. So Seefalke and I set sail for an evacuation mission.

Why didn’t I just say “no”?, I keep asking myself. I am sick. I can’t see my own face but it bet it is as greenish brown as the Sargasso seaweed that is spread all over my deck. I feel terrible. Cold sweat is running down my face. I remember the fun fact that it has the same salinity as the ocean around me. I hold on to the massive sea fence of Seefalke and get in position to relief myself one…

Ever wondered how to Spot a Whale Shark in the Belize Barrier Reef?

Gladden Spit in the Belize Barrier Reef, located about 26 miles off the coast of Placencia, hosts a high concentration of whale sharks during the months of April and May, when schools of cubera snapper are actively spawning in the area. Gladden Spit is also a protected area, so the park rangers only allow six tour operator boats at a time, which contributes to the intimacy of the experience.

We spoke to several Belizean locals, scuba dive shops, and tour operators, curious about the best time to spot a whale shark. Depending on who you ask, each person has a different opinion with conflicting results.
