More of me and my uncles adventure driving from Houston to Belize in my kayak laden Jeep. We’d get on google maps and find these lagoons out in the jungle and we hack our way through with machetes and push through with the Jeep until we got to them and unloaded our kayaks.
Some of the lagoons were huge and some were kinda small. The smaller ones were crystal clear with a white sandy bottom and only about 8 feet deep. These always got deeper the closer to the center you got and had big holes that fed tubes out to the ocean. We saw giant 8 ft barracuda and huge Tarpon around 7 ft and lots of other fish going in and out of this hole in the center.
I think it was a nursery where they come to have their babies and then go back out to the ocean in their secret tunnels. I don’t have any pics of these because my camera got wet at the first lagoon so I couldn’t take any more pics.
I wish I could’ve taken more pics. One of them had two giant sea turtles in it and they were easy to find because they left trails on the bottom for you to follow and find them.
This was one of my uncles bucket list trips. He’s had cancer for years but it supposedly got way more aggressive and wasn’t looking good. This was in 2014 and he’s still around today. They tried some new gene therapy or something when we got back from our trip since chemo wasn’t working and it put it back in remission.
