 We left St Thomas yesterday morning early and 
arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico at about 5 PM . 
We had a fantastic 
welcome by the locals and enjoyed a little party with them on the quay 
with salsa and marenga music. They initiated us to the island Don 
Q rum and coke. Afterwards one of them took us to a unassuming cafe where we had 
mashed plantain and garlic shrimps. Very tasty.  
We will set sail again tonight, destination 
Dominican Republic. About 300nm. Hope it will be a fair passage. The wind was 
quite strong yesterday and the sea most uncomfortable 
We plan to visit the old town of San Juan this 
afternoon and leave the quay at about 6 PM. 
Very hot here. Thinking of you all in the 
cold. 
Hugs from us 
Catherinexxx and Mike
