Some charters are full on, with hardly a moment to spare in between all the activities, meal preparation, cleaning, sailing and entertaining guests. Others, however, are more low key and the crew get a little extra time to do the chores and maintenance and then take some down time if possible.

On our first charter, back in Belize, our guests were off the boat fly-fishing for most of the daylight hours, unless the weather was bad. We used the majority of that time for maintenance, cleaning and basic boat admin but, on one particular day, we had a bit of extra free time and we made the most of it.

The owner and his guests used the skiff for their fly-fishing every day so we were mostly boat bound, unless we anchored close enough to an island to swim to land. On this day we took a mooring ball in the Pelican Cayes Range and it was close enough to a little deserted island, to snorkel there and back.

We had only been here once before, with Ken and Elizabeth almost 4 months prior, but that was basically an overnight stop on our way down south to Placencia. `This was our first chance to do a little exploring during the day and enjoy the water too. So we grabbed the GoPro and and did some investigating for an hour or two.
