We also got a chance to ask Greif about the state of the Caye Caulker airstrip.
The airstrip was recently re-surfaced and inaugurated in September of 2018. But, darned if we didn't feel a pronounced dip when we landed on it today.
We asked Greif about it today - and he didn't seem too concerned:
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Is there a dip in this runway, a part of it sinking?"
John Grief III- President, Tropic Air
"I think there is a dip, but that's why we built runway out of asphalt so it can follow the contours of the earth, so if places rise, if places go down, it doesn't break up. That's why we use asphalt as a medium. The other medium is still reinforce cement which drives your cost up ten times. My guess is there are dips in it, is it in the same place it was before? I couldn't tell you. It's not a concern of Tropic's."
