I'm thinking of a Chartering in Belize this December. December has a little less humidity and a little lower temps, although it appears to rain more often than say February.
When I charter I typically like to plan for at least a couple long sails (4+hours). I'm getting the impression that Belize does not lend itself to long sails. My sense is that it is very short sails followed by a good deal of motoring to navigate through the coral heads and the like.

We will keep to ourselves on the Cat most of the time, going to recommended snorkeling sites and parks. Given that, will there be any opportunities for long sails?
