Heading to the Western Caribbean
February 2026 - November 2026
For our third year of cruising, we have our eyes set on the Western Caribbean. After a long stop in Daytona Beach for our annual winter family visits and doctor appointments, Utopia will head to the Florida Keys in February. Around March 1, we hope to be waiting for a decent weather window in the Dry Tortugas before leaving the United States for several months.
Our rough schedule takes us to Mexico for the month of March, Belize in April and May, then on to Guatemala in June. Hurricane season will be spent about 20 miles inland, at a resort marina up the Rio Dulce .
In July, we will fly back to the States where Sondra intends to hike in New Hampshire and Maine before we visit family, friends and doctors in FL, AL & MS. Upon return to Guatemala in Mid-August, we plan to explore the area until hurricane season wraps up in November. We have slip reservations at Hacienda Hijax, come join us and stay aboard Utopia or in the resort!
