Hi everyone. Glad to be back on line after the storm. We just got internet twenty minutes ago.
The resort is fine. Two places on the beach washed out with pretty big cuts but I'm sure they will be filled in shortly. Monday morning was the worst. It had rained for two days and the ground was saturated. It started lightning around 2:00 AM and was by far the worst storm I have seen here. Winds were reported at 60 Miles per hour. Several dozen boats including the ones at Belizean Shores were filled with water as the batteries that controlled their bilge pumps wore down with the massive amount of falling water. A couple of the guys at Tuff-E-Nuff were out in the storm and cut the boats loose so they could be beached and not swamped. I have heard that we got around 15 inches of rain.
The pool is getting landscaped. The pumps and the lights came in today. Cassita #1 is close to being finished.
Doug has started work on the land side of the dock over the RO intake. I believe that there is a problem with permits. Town Council put a stop to all new docks a month ago and voided all permits. They felt that there were too many docks being built. My understanding is that the resorts up North will be allowed their docks. Most of the problem is in town.
I am not up to date on the insurance questions due to lack of internet. I know that there is a master policy on the building but you need another policy to cover your own contents inside your unit. Our contents policy renews this month. We have $80,000 BZ and it costs $ 1000 BZ for the year. It covers hurricane, storm and fire but not theft. Can't buy theft insurance here without burglar bars and an alarm system.

I just read about this storm in the newspaper, glad that everything is ok. Just curious, what is the weather like in July. We are thinking about coming for a visit then but don't want to be stuck in too many storms. Thanks for your help! Steve and Janice.
Weather here is impossible to predict. Last year it was bone dry until August with only a few brief rain showers. We had a major storm last week. Come down with a light raincoat and you probably won't need it.
