Anyone who has ever been to the small Central American country of Belize, whether as a tourist, a land developer, or a new home owner, will recognize Stingray Caye as Belize's Ambergris Caye with its San Pedro village and beautiful barrier reef. The familiar Quebrada and crystal clear waters between the beach and the reef will recall happy days spent snorkeling or water skiing along the sandy coastline. This intricate tale of adventure and romance is a combination of actual events and the author's imagination. Hunter will take you on a tour of the fictional city of St. George inspired by his memories of Belize. QUEBRADA Recently there has been a rash of attacks on American tourists preparing to travel back home to the U.S. in their private pleasure yachts from a small country in Central America. Detained at night by men dressed as Customs officials, and claiming to be searching to see if the tourists are carrying protected Mayan artifacts out of the country, they come aboard armed with automatic weapons. They then strip the pleasure yacht of valuables and money after which they allow the tourists to reboard their yachts and proceed on their journey. Ted Baily, a struggling owner/operator of a fleet of two dive boats in Caribe, a small country with excellent scuba diving and ocean fishing, determines he must do something because his business is dwindling as word spreads in the U.S. about these pirating activities. The Authorities in Caribe say they can do nothing and Ted then takes matters into his own hands. He recruits his local friends including a beautiful female flying-boat pilot; and after being injured in a gun battle, his twin brother who surreptitiously assumes his identity to carry on the plans. Ted knows how dangerous the reef can be for those who don't know about the coral formations that surround the quebrada. Is it enough? Lies, deception, intrigue and romance.
