Goodbye Puerto Rico

3 weeks I've been back in Puerto Rico and they've flown by, we love this place. For me it's the one place we have stopped so far on our travels that I think I could live in. It's safe, beautiful, people are all super friendly/love a chat, great sailing, civilised, you can work and most likely make half decent money and sail relatively easy to anywhere in the Caribbean Sea....it's a good place.

When I arrived back from working in Aus to Isla Culebra we fixed the autopilot and a few other things then headed over to Vieques Island for a couple of nights then onto Salinas, both are very nice places. In Salinas we hired a car for 3 days and headed north to San Juan then around to the west coast spending a Saturday night in Boqueron, great spot. Had a fun night out with good live music and lots of cheap beer seeing how the locals live and enjoy life here. After Salinas we sailed to Coffin Island where we hung for a week, fishing and doing boat jobs. We built a new awning for the cockpit which turned out great and managed to do quite well fishing from the dinghy so had a few fish BBQs with our friends on "Ever After" which was great fun also. From there onto Ponce which is a big city, not a bad anchorage but not so nice a place to be, so we just did a big stock up at the supermarket then checked out with the Authorities and now we are waiting for the weather to change at Punta Ballena on the west coast of PR. Hopefully tomorrow we will cross the Mona passage and leave for Dominican Republic. All good aboard Sunflower :)

We literally have taken 3 photos in the last few weeks so nothing too exciting to show!
