Cap Cana, Home Sweet Home, for the duration apparently...

All weather reports -  passage weather, buoy, windfinder, nooa - say the same: stay put. So stay we will. But we can't complain. The marina is paid until April and we have the whole resort to ourselves. We walk on the beach in the morning and it's just us. The swimming pools, all along the beach are also empty. They have great recliners, tents to sit under, bathrooms, showers, and last night we discovered we also have cable and last but never least, great wi-fi.
In the meantime we are also waiting for a new GPS antenna. Juan worked with the electronics for 8 hours straight and could not make them work. He called his cousin in Miami and got instructions to connect the GPS directly to the chartplotter using NMEA. That is when he decided the problem is the antenna. So now through his cousin's friend in La Romana we are going to have one sent and see what happens.
The marina lent us their air compressor and Juan will start to rid the bottom of the growth, no small job. He started yesterday without the compressor and could only do the propeller, and some of the rudder.
Sweet Tides and Elza are also stuck in Georgetown and have no idea when they will move.
