A great weather window popped up, so Megerin left Luperon last Thursday and arrived Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Saturday morning - a 38 hour trip. After an annoying customs/immigration encounter (but free!), we proceeded to make our way slowly down the west coast and around the southwest tip to the southern coast of Puerto Rico. We are lovin' life right now, with no long passages ahead of us. Every day we wake up early, go about 10-12 miles to the next anchorage before the easterly trade winds start, and then we have the rest of the day to do whatever we want. Each stop has been fun. Boqueron had a nice street fair going, Capo Rojo was a serene anchorage under a lighthouse and had a nice little resort for happy hour. La Puerega was only 8 miles away and it is very unique - many mangrove cays and waterways between them to explore. We think we heard the monkeys but coundn't see them. Next was Gilligan's island with pretty beaches and a nice resort for dinner out. The south coast of Puerto Rico is gorgeous but also quiet, with few tourists or boats. So welcome after the noise of the DR.
