Clarence and Annabel moved from Canada to Belize in 1996 with the idea of semi-retiring.  There they built and operated Capricorn Resort on Ambergris Caye, and after a successful eight years in business, they sold the resort in 2003.  During a holiday and family visit to the Tanzania coast, that was it.  Back to Tanzania for Annabel who grew up there, and the start of another new venture for Clarence. Annabel started Capricorn Casuals, a line of casual clothes and Clarence is enjoying ‘smoking’ the wonderful fish caught daily by the local Kigombe  fishermen.
