Underway South to Tobacco Caye Belize
10:07 A distraction.
Matt says, a little terse, “Oh my, how’d that get there?”, while he’s moving from starboard to port.
I peek out and ask “What’s THAT?”
Matt says “Somehow, we’ve taken on a snake! He’s wrapped around the grill bracket on the starboard stern of the boat.
Sure enough, there’s the tail end of a small boa constrictor!
Fortunately, our friend Geff, on S/V My Peace is a snake wrangler!
12:58 Anchored off Tobacco Caye! Radio over to Geff to come over and wrangle our boa constrictor! He was there in less than 5 minutes.
Above is the bar at Tobacco Caye Lodge. Those of you who have been on charters with us here have been here before! He is opening for business as Geff shows off our snake.
Below, Melissa, one of the local business owners, was fascinated with the snake and wanted to terrorize her neighbors. She has the snake on her left arm. Watch the little boy inch his way over and finally, his dad catches him and makes him get close!!!
Still havin' fun....

Are boa constrictors common to that area?
Boa's are native here.......and are the prefered visitor to the venemous tree falling snakes that everyone likes to tell us about.
Looking at all of that sun makes me think that I need to get out of the north sometime. Although the thought of stowaway snakes does put a damper on that thought a little. :)
