What a fantastic place.
... yes, and four big parrots in residence which the owner Jan would bring out and perch on whatever she wanted to. One, called ‘Campeche’ seemed to be the most fun; (named after a famous Puerto Rican painter) was just so funny. He would talk and call to you when he thought he wasn’t getting enough attention. “Ola Ola” he would shriek over and over again while dancing on whatever he was perched on. And this was really often.

Through dinner, we discussed the option of making a long run all the way to Vieques through the night, but taking into account our level of tiredness and the fact that it would be our first transit with the new crew aboard, we decided to just head for Puerto Patillas, a little anchorage 17 nautical miles along the coast.
