Homebound while Faraway stays faraway

We threw the towel: the weather will not improve till next week and that's too late for us. Rather than risk a crossing just because we have to cross, we decided to leave the boat in Cap Cana. I must say our decision was greatly aided by the fact that on a fluke I decided to check ticket prices for today and got the lowest prices so far, even lower than I had found to return from Puerto Rico. I took it as a sign and we just bought them.
So Juan is now at the marina office negotiating prices to leave it here and in an hour and a half we will be leaving. We are all packed, all we need to do is take the genoa down and maybe the bimini. We are not sure when we will be back, could be in August, in November or earlier if Juan gets volunteers to help take it to either Puerto Rico or even Virgin Gorda where we can leave it on the hard. So for the time being, bye bye

  1. Wow Estela and Juan. I have followed your ordeals and you are two brave sailors. I loved Samana when I visited it with Habitat for Humanity. Lovely Bay. Glad you are coming home safe and sound.
    Juan I VOLUNTEER. Abrazos, Joel
