Headed for the DR (Dominican Republic)

April 16, 2013
Well, we have been here 12 days, much longer than expected.  Ready to move on and have a pretty good weather window.  Highlights of Provo have been - meeting new friends, beautiful clear water with great colors, excellent grocery stores, though pricey.  Great wifi at marina so lots of skyping.  We got some boat chores finished, rented a car to tour around, etc. - basic tourist stuff.  There are many more islands here to see but not enough money in the kitty this trip.
Happy hour "up on the hill" at South Side marina.  Owner Bob in striped shirt and his sidekick Campbell beside him.
Campbell and his wife Judy come from Canada every year to stay with Bob and help him run the place.

We were taking a walk one evening and a fishing boat had just come in to the marina.  the nice guys gave us a red snapper to carry home.  He doesn't look too happy, does he?  Great dinner.
Out to dinner with view of Turtle cove on Provo behind us.

Friends Mark and kathy from Carina with us at dinner.

  2. I am so-o-o-o jealous. When we left the DR several years ago, I said we'd return. There must not have been any sand in our shoes. I know you will love it.
