Boqueron

---

Boqueron, our last stop on the far west end of the island, is the jumping off point for vessels leaving the Caribbean. And as we quickly found out, one of our favorite beach towns in Puerto Rico. This town is wild with activity (to put it mildly). The streets are lined with vendors selling everything from fresh shucked oysters to shell necklaces, the bars blare all different kinds of Puerto Rican music that give the town a distinctive rhythm that is inescapable, and the streets are filled with college students and families bound for the beach and some fun in the sun. We have spent the last four days here, waiting for a good weather window for our passage to the Turks and Caicos, and just love the place. The town just vibrates with energy and excitement, and the people here are just so friendly and fun. It doesn’t take much encouragement for the Rum Runners to get out there and embrace the party. And they certainly like to party here. In fact, we all have a new saying now; instead of “Party like a rock star” it is “Party like a Puerto Rican!” It has turned out to be a perfect end to our Caribbean experience.
