Geo: 18.3105, -65.3031Seriously. Why leave if we don't have to? We are enjoying it here so much! Good vibes, AMAZING beach (Flamenco is rated within the top 10!), and great people! So....we fall back into our normal routine of finding a great spot and hanging out for a LONG while... :) April 5th, 2015 - Ok, so we're still in Culebra!!Hello all,Hope this note finds you all well. I heard snow fell again last night in T.O. Sorry. Ugh. Glad we're still down here for a couple more months! LOL!So, 13 days ago I wrote to y'all and said we were leaving the next morning. Well, we didn't. As the title of my blog entry says, "Why leave Culebra if we don't really have to?" ;)We've enjoyed it here so much that we decided to stay ... read more

Geo: 17.9826, -66.295So, we've been here for some time. Much longer than expected. Although I'm in serious need of a long, white sand beach, the locals that we've met have made our time here incredibly enjoyable. We met Ricardo and Marjeta our first week here at the local swimming hole and have been spending time with them ever since. They are kind, generous, fun-loving people who live in absolute paradise! If I ever move ashore again, this is the kinda digs I wanna have! ;) They invited us for dinner and a bonfire. Great food, friends, and a rockin' fire. Nice job, Ricardo! Also, local bar owner, Janso and his wife Anna have been spectacular hosts within this small community. They run the "cruiser's" bar, "Sal Pa Dentro" and make sure to help out all the ... read more

Geo: 18.2031, -67.14From Samana, DR we picked an amazing day to get ourselves across the Mona Passage, which is known to be difficult if the conditions are less than perfect. Did I mention that we saw many whales from Samana to Puerto Rico? Pretty cool beans.After checking in at Mayaguez, we moved on to Boqueron which is a touristy, beachy, party town that is only really open on the weekends. But the beach was fun even though it was dark, course sand, which you find in most of PR. (I miss those gorgeous white sand beaches!!)Making our way further on, we stopped at Giligan's Island for one night and an important dinghy ride to Copamarina Beach resort to get online so that we could send notes and photos to Mackenzie for her 23 birthday.http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g644390-d651486-Reviews-Gilligan_s_Island-Playa_de_Guanica_Puerto_Rico.htmlhttp://www.copamarin... read more

Geo: 23.1, -74.9833My iPod thinks I'm in Cuba. We are NOT in Cuba!!! JAN 24We arrived in the Clarence Town harbour yesterday after a long day of motor sailing. It was another bumpy ride...the waves were confused, and we were really beating into them much of the time. So even though the sun was shining, it was a wet ride from all the spray. The boat is covered in a layer of salt. Saltwater seeped into the boat through every hatch. Luckily, we had everything set up so that mainly it was only our throw rugs that absorbed all the drips. We are spending today in Clarence Town. Tony and I have been here before, but by car. Last June, we anchored in Salt Pond (on the west side of Long Island) and rented a car ... read more
