Maybe tomorrow...

Our eyes hurt from poring over weather charts! So after frustrating hours of study and checking airfares from the various options, we decided to try and leave tomorrow afternoon. It really will not be either calm or agreeable until next week but we have to be in DC on Sunday so we will try. If we don't like it we will turn back again. We have already talked to the marina and we could leave the boat here if we needed to. The cheapest tickets are out of San Juan so that was another consideration.
Now that we made the decision we're off to the beach and the swimming pool. Cap Cana is an enormous ghost town. Beautifully manicured, security at every corner, people cleaning and mowing already cut lawns, everywhere. The marina is about 40% occupied, mostly large fishing boats that fish for records.
We returned the golf cart we rented yesterday to go around and visit the development, the other golf carts we see around are driven by marina deckhands and security. Our only complaint about the DR is the bureaucracy to check in and out of each port and now the country.  It's still much better than it was in Luperón, because being in marinas they bring the officials to us, but it's endless!!
