We escaped the river :-) We hit the bar at the Rio Dulce entrance going about 6 1/2 knots, slowed into the 2's at the worst of it, but made it over unassisted. We did have "Hector" following along side us in a big fishing boat to give us a tug if we stopped, but we were able to power through. The bottom of our keel is quite clean. We'll slowly move north/East up the outside of Belize, reaching Isla Mujeres Mexico in a couple of weeks. It's good to be moving again!
Cheers,
Carolynn & Tom

glad you got out of the river without much incident! We have just returned to Australia, but won't be sailing again until April due to cyclone season. Nice to hear what you are up to.
