Carlos Cruz, Shipwright
Carlos Cruz was one of the premier ship-builders in Sarteneja
-- the little fishing village eighteen miles east of us on the bay -- until he
moved to Corozal. Here he plies his trade in the shade behind the old
Capri -- the burned out nightclub/hotel which is a story in itself.
Carlos can build you a boat from scratch from Honduras
Mahogany (or better) or he can repair just about anything that
floats. Here, he's working on a typical Belizean fishing boat. When
he finishes, it will look like new!

His helper Alex, also caulking. (They use space-age tools like a Roto-Zip for
cutting, but some things go better the old fashioned way. )
