Ponce, for a few days

Good night in Boquerón, quite a few boats anchored there which we did not see but were lucky enough to anchor away from. The morning was beautiful and we took off to Ponce. Most of the time a great ride, in the afternoon the wind picked up, on our nose and it made our ride even slower, but we arrived in Ponce at around 4:30. We had called ahead to ask for slip availability but the channels did not connect and nobody could tell us where to go. After going around the basin a few times, we tied to a T-dock and stayed there. The best thing was clearing US Customs. The last time we were here, the marina called and they came to the boat. But this time we had the Custom's decal, so we spoke to them on the phone, gave them all our information and they gave us a number. With that we were able to hoist the PR flag and don't need to do anything else. Perfect.
We moved the boat this morning to a slip and have rented a car. But they have a lift and a yard and Juan is talking to the contractor right now to have the work done right here, so that when we return on Friday night from Santo Domingo, it will be ready. Last year my Xmas present were the winches, this year the bottom paint and new cutlass bearings, not a big improvement!
