This weather window we are taking to get to Peurto Rico is supposed to be awesome. We are leaving at 6 PM tonite and plan to be in Peurto Rico by Sunday afternoon. I believe the dogs will be OK. I know Frankie will, but Sydney, I worry about.

We are amazed at how calm it is out here. The swells are maybe 3 feet, but there is a 9 or 10 second interval, so it is so smooth. Larry insists on staying up long past his watches, so I don't complain. He loves this!

We arrived in Ponce, Puerto Rico at 1 PM. We went 300 miles in 43 hours. Pretty amazing. There are lots of boats that left at the same time and we are all sort of in the same area here. We plan to rent a car and do some shopping. They have a Walmart. Sam's club and a mall!!

We played tourist today and took a cab to downtown St. Thomas. There were 400 shops and 300 were jewelry stores. We are not in the market for jewelry so we just browsed.

We went to Christmas Cove and anchored at the south end of St. Thomas. Visited with some friends in St. Thomas.

Went back to Crown Bay Marina to greet our guests. A couple that Larry used to work with, Richard and Rose, came to stay a few days with us on the boat. We are so excited. It should be a great visit.

Sailed to St. John's and anchored in Hurricane Hole. Had a great lunch and stayed the night. All that was on the agenda was to relax and we got that done.

Went to Sopers Hole and checked into the BVI's. We were a bit worried because the BVI's has a no dogs policy. We have been told by local vets to just lay low and just not mention tha you have a dog. They don't ask and you don't tell. It seems to be working so far.

Richard and Rose left today. It was a fantastic visit. They were the perfect boat guests! It is not easy to stay on a boat if you are not used to it and they were troopers. We had a blast, laughed a lot relaxed and made sure that Richard got in lots of naps. I remember all too well how important that is for a Hilcorp employee!! We hated to see them go and look forward to their next visit.
