Captain worked around the boat. At about 5:00pm Brady wakes up to join the Captain and hit J-Byrds again for more live music. Meet up again with the “blokes” and Mark 1 dances silly punta style with girls while we sit back and laugh. White boy got soul! We say goodbye to our new British friends who start their trek back home tomorrow. Cheers Mark! and thanks for the new words “terd burglar” and “steak curtains”, ha! ha! ha! Ya crass wanka! “Ruby....don’t take your love to town........”

Captain and Brady get up early to get extensions on passports. Planned on going to Big Creek or Mango Creek across the Placencia lagoon for extensions but come to find out that they only do it there on Thursdays. With deadline on our passports, we decide to set sail for Dangriga 32 miles back north. Reach Dangriga about 6:30 and anchor for the night.

Another early day. Decide to anchor out in the harbor where we believe the immigration office is. Captain stays with Chiriga while Brady takes the passports in the dink to shore. Come to find the immigration office has moved clear across town. Brady wanders a bit but finds it and returns back with another month of  legitamacy in Belize for himself and the Captain. Raise sails and head back for Placencia at 10:45am. Nice relaxing day sail with the Mayan mountain range as our backdrop. Return to Placencia at 5:00 and hit the village, again. “Jeddy”! Where are you!

I let the log get behind almost a week. Today is actually Tuesday the 30th and I am trying to recollect what happened these past few days. To tell the truth, I don’t remember what happened this day.

Uh.......we went to J-Byrd’s and did the live reggae/punta thing again.

Placencia is like any small town. Everyone knows everyone and some know too much. Gossip escalates and the story changes as it reaches each new person. You have to learn to take everything you hear with a “grain of salt”. Once a person has been here a week or two they quickly become part of the local scene. Most that have been here a while are given nick names. Some have been given nicks and don’t even know it yet. If you have ”dirty laundry” you gotta be careful, cause sometimes everyone gets a “whiff”. Reminds me of another small town! Ha! Ha!

and now a dedication to a certain small town.......

“Trudging slowly over wet sand,
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen,
This is the coastal town that they forgot to close down,
Come Armageddon, come Armageddon, come Armageddon, come.....

Everday is like Sunday, Everyday is sometime gray.......”
