The crew of The Far Side anchored in Placencia, Belize, in a southeast wind that created a slight swell around the point.1:38 After securing their outboard motor to the stern pulpit for the passage, the crew went ashore to explore the town and gather information on travel logistics and customs procedures for their upcoming transit to the Rio Dulce, Guatemala.2:25 They utilized the Navionics app to locate a cruiser-friendly bar to consult with other sailors about local navigation and transport.12:07
The following morning, the crew repaired three broken sail slides on the mainsail.13:41 The original plastic slides had failed during a rough passage, so the crew replaced them with metal-reinforced slides sourced from Sailrite.14:16 The repair process required wax-coated thread, a heavy-duty needle, and a hand protector to force the needle through the sail fabric.14:59 The crew successfully reattached the slides to the mast track before preparing to clear out of Belize for their next leg.19:22
