The Christmas gifts for the worker's children behind Coco Beach were a success. Al & Jenine and Kath & I had a wonderful time sharing some joy. We made sure that everyone understood that many owners were behind the scenes helping us out.
Apples are a treat to Belizeans at Christmas time. They are expensive and hard to find. We bought 250 of them and gave all the staff enough for their families and all the construction workers.
There are five families behind Coco Beach and seventeen children. We got all the fathers together and gave them each enough toys so that every child got several. That way the fathers were able to provide for their families.
Everyone was thankful and thanks to all of you who helped us make this a special Christmas for all of them.
On the news side............
The Construction dock in front of Building A is GONE!
Southwind has purchased the Kingsbury Property next door and the construction dock has been moved to that property. The second pool has most of the concrete done and is waiting bottom finish and a little more tile work. I'm thinking the Hotel and Restaurant are another 4 to 6 months away from finishing. The reception center part of it will probably be finished sooner.
Coco Beach hosted a jazz party last night at the pool bar. Happy hour drinks and a live band.
We awoke to a beautiful, sunny Christmas morning. Kath and I wish you all safe travels over the holidays and a very Happy New Year!

Great about the Xmas for the workers and families, Cullen. We should probably make it a yearly event.
Yahoo!! on the loss of the construction dock. Kevin must be as elated as I am.
So the Kingsbury property? Now Sandy Point will have non stop from Coco Beach through Belizean Shores. Is Essene Way next?
See you soon, Carl
Thanks for organizing the gifts...I love the way you had the Dads pick out the gifts for their families...nice touch! This is year 1 that Dan and I will be down for the owners' meeting! I am excited! is there usually an owners' shindig afterwards? I am looking forward to meeting other owners and bonding over some rum punch!!!
Cheers!
Dan and Veronica (9C)
Sorry to rain on the parade, however, the Kingsbury purchase is far from a reality. Enormous legal and financial obstacles have yet to be negotiated or even fully researched before this becomes a Sandy Point Resort property. Indeed, it would be a tremendous accomplishment to acquire this long neglected beachfront lot, but it will be approximately a year before we know the outcome of these difficult negotiations.
Kingsbury and Sandy Point have been negotiating for three years. Doug's comments to me indictaed that they had come to an agreement. But, this is Belize and things change daily. Who knows.....
