Still waiting...

I have not updated the blog because there is just so many times you can say you walked on the beach or went to the pool or the jacuzzi by the sea, right?
But we did get a new GPS antenna, which seems to be working: the light turns green but it loses its fix, probably a connection, we just don't know where.
We have now put the sails up, Juan has touched up the varnish, and we keep looking at weather maps.
While we could not ask for a better place to be waiting in, we want to move. It could be Wednesday or Friday. The weather forecasts change every time we look at them.
The problem with leaving the DR is that we have to go through the hassle of calling in the immigration officials from the airport, who come down and stamp your passports, but if when you go out conditions are rougher than you expected and you have to come back (as we did last time), you have to go through the same bureaucratic rigmarole.
