We had light winds and almost flat seas for our
sail to Puerto Rico, it was very leisurely although we started to get a little
impatient and just wanted to arrive at the marina and get busy doing jobs on
the boat! As you near the east coast of Puerto Rico,
near to Fajardo there are some beautiful off lying islands where the locals we
enjoying their Sunday.

We were staying in the marina for
the week to make sure we had time not only to see some of the island but also
to spend some time fixing the boat, seems like things are always breaking!
Our first day with the hire car we
headed south and west along the coast, we were surprised that we were
surrounded by green rolling hills that seems to go on for miles. We drove along the south coast which was very
pretty although funny that every village/town that you enter you then encounter
a Burger King, McDonalds, etc and normally not just one but a variety but we
found a lovely little beach to sit and have our picnic lunch.

We drove on to Salinas which is a port along the south coast
where we could have anchored in the mangroves, looked good and sheltered. The
day mainly consisted of us driving and hopping out to admire the view, another
first on this drive was to see a field of cow and palm trees in the field, just
didn’t look right!
