Rio Dulce Sail
Afternoon sunset tour
No. OF DAYS: 1/2 day
SEASON: All year
LOCATION: Rio Dulce
This very pleasant and relaxed sailing adventure
is the perfect way to spend an afternoon for one or two couples.
We set sail immediately after departing the dock
at Tijax on the 28’ Herreshoff Ketch “POC”, once
the sails are tuned adjusted we sail downwind under the Rio Dulce
bridge onto the the San Felipe Bay past the fort and into the Izabal
Lake proper.
Sailing past the fort reminds one of the old days
of the Pirates when they slipped under the cannons and over the
chains that closed the entrance to the Lake. After a few runs abeam
we usually find a secluded bay for a swim and a snack of cheese
and wine or beer until sunset at which time se reset sails and tack
upwind to Tijax as the light go on in the village and the bridge….
Expect to see gorgeous sunsets and spectacular
moonrises as well as rainbows and unusual cloud formations.
Do not forget your swim gear, tanning lotion, and camera.
Charters Visit nearby Belize and the world's second
longest coral reef.
