Hi all, my name is Rick and I am contemplating a move to Belize. I am already halfway there, considering I already have a home in Veracruz, Mexico, which I am trying to finish and sell. My main reason for the move, is the fishing. I am a former fishing guide from the Lower Florida Keys.

So I guess I am just looking for feedback from expats now living in Belize, preferably on or near the water. I am interested in security issues, cost of real estate and if Belize really is an English speaking country. I have heard that in the cities, one can get along fairly well. But apart from those areas, Spanish is the preferred language. I'm afraid my Spanish still suffers a bit.
What about a US plated vehicle? In Mexico, one has to jump through hoops to get a US vehicle nationalized...and it has to be 10 years old. What about bringing my bonefish skiff into Belize. What kind of permits are needed for that?

Perhaps some of these questions will be answered as I peruse older topics. I am very new here, and have just recently considered the possibility of moving to Belize for the remainder of my retirement. Thanks all.
