Signs of being back in the USA After our passage from the Dominican Republic our first anchorage in Puerto Rico was Boquerón. This is a small resort town located in the southwest corner of the island. It not an official port of entry, therefore we had to get transportation to the customs and immigration office in Mayaguez. In order to do this we found Raul who has a business providing transport ... Read Full Entry

Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world. Our reasons for publishing this blog is twofold, first to keep in touch with our friends and family and secondly to share our experiences.

Flamenco Beach

Here is just a small section of Flamenco Beach on Culebra. We were glad we were able to get there even if it wasn’t by boat. It was definitely worth the walk there to see this beautiful stretch of the island.

The South Pacific?

No, if you need to train the military to storm beaches, this was the place it was done. Now this is what remains

An artist canvas?

Looks like this now is a canvas for the local artist

Internal protection

This tree definitely has its own type of protection built in!

The good in strangler figs

We see that the picnic area takes advantage of the shade provided by the strangler fig trees. Nice to see that there are some benefits to these trees.

Camping anyone?

The camping area at Flamenco Beach was quite nice and even had water, showers and flush toilets. We can see this would be a great place to vacation.

An idyllic beach

Just another view of Flamenco Beach that seems to go on forever - a little slice of paradise

Arecibo - NAIC - my first job a Cornell
Wasn't that place fantastic. When I first went to Arecibo I went up on the telescope. The views are magnificent, but scary when you have a fear of height as I do! We drove under the dish which conceals orchids and other beautiful fauna. It's magical for sure. Glad you got a chance to see it. Best. Nelson

Just saying hello

Its nice to hear your doing well, last we talked you were not sure if you would go back north or south for the summer I see you decided. We ended up going to the Bahamas for a few months now were heading back up the ICW. Whats your plan for hurricane season? Fair winds and following seas Mike, Michelle and Joshua
