Re: [Paddlewise] Belize - Glovers Atoll/ International Shipping

I'm not too keen on paddling entry level plastics for touring around.
Not too keen on sit on tops either.  These boats have their place.  I am
interested in expeditioning:  Open coast, 20 mile days.  I think it's
prudent to be picky about the boat you use for such an endeavor.  It's
hard to find a rental boats I feel are suitable for expeditioning, so I
have been looking for ways to ship my own boat.
