  • We leave Sapodilla Cayes to Tom Owen's Caye where we find a very unusual Shell House, made of Conch shells. Invited by the owners we take a tour through the house and its history.
    It's time to leave Belize but not before we visit the tiniest island ever with no name.

    Yup, Margarida is afraid of birds, but not much else. That island house is pretty sweet. I hate to think what a good hurricane would do to it. You showed us what a good hurricane can do to a small island a couple of videos ago.

    Blimey, that brings back memories. Anchored off Tom Owen’s back in early 94. Nothing there. Just the two of us on the boat and a local fisherman on the island. That smaller island with the shack in the picture had a couple of palm trees on it back then to string up a hammock. Maybe got destroyed by a hurricane. Did some great spear fishing with the fisherman and we all ate grouper on the back of the boat. I also remember those bloody 30/40 knot winds blowing out of the west during the night. Second anchor in that direction helped. Sad to see the dodgy money grabbers now. We checked in at Placencia heading up from Rio Dulce. Got to be honest, but there were some places in the Caribbean we didn’t check into but just hid away in isolated areas to avoid the hassle. Might be time to get a t shirt!

    Oh man dont ever change that Intro. Makes me so happy when i hear it. And you didnt disappoint, always beautiful stuff, and near death experiences. Not sure what happened, did the snubber come off? At least your heard it. God it's like will you ever get a break.
    Crazy Is? How do they cope in the chop. Must come through the house on a weekly basis. Go upstairs i guess.
    Not just getting food and meds for the elderly, but how did they get all that concrete there? He is working on the power, omg keep the water out.
    So good to see oldies going for it, what a huge accomplishment. No old age home for them. The beauty of all those identical shells on the building, amazing, must have bought those in from somewhere. A bit of a job building that, there.
    Throw a fishing line out the window...
    Have you got some fins for that beautiful motor of yours yet?
    Stay safe,...if you can. What could possibly happen next?
    How about a failed seacock. Its about time you filled with water...best of luck. And I thought i had bad luck.
    And much appreciate the loaves and fished production. You do so much for so many with so few camers and gear. Or is that a Churchill production? Only quality people ...

    Please say that you cleared that poor little island of as much trash as you could when you were there? As social media users and influencers I think everyone needs to pull together to try and make a difference, however futile it may seem, and be seen to be trying to make a difference. The more people it inspires to help, or change what they do and how they do it, maybe there might be something left worth seeing and experiencing for our children when they grow up.
