today we explore the little town of
Lupron dominican republic lupron has an
ideal Anchorage with tall land masses
surrounding it to the north is the
Atlantic Ocean with land in all other
directions it's worth noting that we
sailed through a bit of the Bermuda
Triangle on our way from South Caicos
and in the back you'll notice massive
mountains which deflect hurricanes and
actually create their own weather
patterns we curiously approach a Sandlot

the Dominicans have style and are
usually dressed to impress
ever since he can remember he's been
popping his collar here we are in an
abandoned building which the cruisers
use as a yoga studio and off in the
distance you can see shock mat a hip
tied to another adventure came in from
that way Turks and Caicos is about 80
miles actually the Turks is about 90
miles pretty horse he's just out here if

road here there's no fences or anything

why we're gonna keep going that way but

after the second Guagua the only way to
the airport was by moto concho and there
were many of them waiting when we got
off the first guy I asked said it was
$40
it was my mistake but I assumed he meant
40 pesos which was a great deal and
given the price that we paid for the
Guagua it made sense being that he would
spend a lot less in fuel
however we were surprised when we got to
the airport that it was 40 us smoked we
got hustled
but whoa what a ride
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
Wow we actually made it to the Dominican
Republic which was best-case-scenario
now it's time to go back to the States
visit loved ones and build the cruising
Kitty let's be honest shock Matea took a
beating and needs some serious attention
before we continue on which we plan to
do thanks for sticking with us we'll see
you next time these are the tales of Bo
