working on it at least once in awhile.
We spent 65 days in Salinas, Puerto Rico and enjoyed every second of it. We loved our
new friends, the grocery stores, the bakery, the dingy rides when the engine was working
properly. We loved swimming in the pool, playing Mexican train on Sundays, our road
trips to San Juan, Ponce, the Rain Forest, and along the coast through the mountains.
One special weekend we partied on a special beach with new Puerto Rican amigos.

I truly loved flying back to the states for ten days and visited my mother and father in Tampa.
Then a trip to Hilton Head to see Carly and friends.
Carly was the highlight of my trip
The day finally came that we pulled anchor at 1:00 am with no moon but the sky filled with stars. With some quick over night stops in Vieques, Calebra, and St Thomas, we pulled into Soper's Hole in Tortola....the British Virgin Island. We arrived on May 7th three days before the wedding of our friends Lara and Brian. But on May 8th the rains came and they stayed for five days. In between the rain drops we still had lots of fun with our good friends visiting from Hilton Head, Morris and Jim, and the new friends we met at the wedding.
Unfortunately all the pictures of the wedding and our week in Soper's Hole are on my camera. I lost my camea for a few days but have also lost the cord for importing pictures from my camera to the ipad. So I will be able to share those with everyone after we return to the states in July and I can purchase a new one!
One fun road trip was to Road Town to buy hydraulic fuel that Will needed for the water maker pump and it took us five stops before we found the only place that had it or had it in less than 5 gallon drums. The nice shop owner just poured about a quart into an empty five gallon drum and said "No charge" While he was busy with that deal, I met Clarence from the Struggling Man Road Side cafe and we joined him there for a great seaside lunch.
On May 14th we moved to a new mooring around the corner called Cane Garden Bay and we fell in love with that place. We took a cute pink mooring ball and enjoyed the beach, swimming, pain killer rum drinks and had dinner at Quito's where Quito played his guitar for us.
our favorite beach so far in Tortola
Back on the seas we made one over night stop before arriving at Bitter End Resort. We finally were able to anchor out instead of paying for a mooring ball....usually $30 a night. So a free stay at an expensive resort. It feels like being in Disney World without the rides and the crowds.
So my friends and family, I leave you today on May 19th until next time. Not sure where we will be next, but I am sure it will be beautiful. And remember that you are always in our thoughts and wished we could have each and everyone of you with us to enjoy our trip. We are usually safe, but scraps and bruises do happen.
Missssssss youuuuuuuu
