Easterly bound

In the end we did not haul the boat in Ponce. We had everything arranged with the contractor but when we talked to the marina it was an endless rigmarole! We had to get permission from I don't know how many people and the price which the contractor said included Everything, did not include the haul and launch. We did not have enough time to argue so we just left Faraway in the slip.
Juan was very worried about leaving the power and battery charger on but if we left the fridge on we did not have much choice. After some debate we left everything on and left.
We returned from Santo Domingo on an earlier flight. We had rented a car which we had left at the aiport in San Juan. By the time we got to Ponce it was 7:30 pm. Instead of eating somewhere we stopped at a supermarket and bought a few things. Great call! Because the fridge had turned itself off and everything inside had to be chucked. After a few panicky moments (OMG! No fridge! What do we do) we turned it on and it started! We think it must be the tempereture knob.
Yesterday morning we drove to Boqueron to meet Elise and Christ. We stopped at a bakery on the way and bought warm and delicius bread and an assortment of pastries. To juan's delight they were fresh and scrumptious. After catching up with the Hitters for a while we took them to the supermarket and then said gooddbye. We are sure we will meet up again! (We stopped again at the bakery and juan bought three more boxes of pastries)
We discovered that Enterprise rent a car is not open on Sundays so rather than resign ourselves to another night of Very Loud music (5 competing bands!!!) Juan managed to drop the car at the airport. We refuelled and set off. A lovely morning, very calm seas and a mild breeze - on our nose of course!
