rotavirus quarantine at the beautiful

what's our quarantine period in the

Dominican Republic was ended we decided

it was a good time to push on as the Bay

of Samana has no ideal place to ride out

a hurricane and it was important for us

to move on so we could find a place

where we could survive the upcoming

hurricane season

blow on their spouts

see there's a publish more than it's

probably like for them

another one just below

[Music]

we're just along in the Mona

passage it's the piece of water range

between Dominican Republic and Puerto

Rico and it is really our first taste of

the actual Caribbean Sea because of the

coronavirus we wanted to get propane we

wanted to get gasoline and we wanted to

get some food supplies the gasoline

didn't happen we did get propane

surprisingly and we did get food we

ended up buying most of our supplies at

convenience stores but luckily we were

able to find a few things that actually

found some beer we loaded up the dinghy

with what we could we got a mustachios

and we plugged out of dominican republic

and now when we arrived in Puerto Rico

we'll be quarantined again but yeah the

motor passage it's beautiful we were

given a lot of warning about the

conditions here in the morning passage

and the currents so far we've found it's

been quite manageable right now we have

a pretty calm conditions but we chose a

pretty decent weather we're gonna travel

we're in some beautiful water

the seas are calm we plan to check in in

Porto al in Puerto Rico which is on the

east coast of Puerto Rico and it is one

of the only torts that is accepting

yachts to do their customs paperwork

during the coronavirus situation

hopefully it is true and we can get

ourselves back in this while with the

world going crazy and I'm so cruising

and we're staying safe that's what's

important

[Music]

music we were in Porto rayul which is in

Puerto Rico we arrived here a couple

days ago and we used the app on the

phone called CBP Rome and that worked

out pretty good

until they told us that we needed our

cruising license which we were supposed

to pick up at the dock and so we were

checked in we raised our flag then we

went to the dock to get our cruising

license and the customs guy met us there

and said that we couldn't get the

cruising license because due to the

kovat 19 pandemic situation they don't

want anybody touring around they want

people to either stay in ports or not

come at all yeah they didn't seem too

pleased about us coming here but anyway

it wasn't illegal or wrong at the time

but they told us that we had to stay on

our boat and that we're not allowed

ashore it's a heavy curfew and

everything and if they catch you ashore

there's like a five thousand dollar fine

and six months in prison and all this

bad stuff so we decided that that sucks

and we are allowed to anchor so that

should extend to other Anchorage's

anyway we're gonna try to do that and

sort of pick our way along the south

coast of Puerto Rico until we get to a

spot where we can jump over to the US

Virgin Islands because the US Virgin

Islands quarantine is not quite as

strict that sounds like a better idea

we're gonna do that it's a shame that

we're gonna miss what beauty Puerto Rico

has to offer but sometimes you have to

roll with the punches I guess they say

we're all dealing with the pandemic as

best we can

and it kind of neuters you're cruising

down to literally just traveling there's

not much enjoyment you can't really do

any of the fun local things you can't

see too much but we're going to make the

best of it and hopefully by the time we

get to the Li words and windward islands

there will be one or two of those open

that we can enter and

hopefully we'll be able to pick our way

farther south so that we can get out of

the hurricane zone it's still early it's

gonna be April like tomorrow I think and

we have you know until June July to get

out of the Hurricanes I think we can do

it they can't continue to close the

ports and have everything on lockdown

that long I mean maybe they will but

we'll see how it goes

wish us luck

[Music]

we decided to leave portal rail and move

along the coast so now we're sailing on

the south coast of Puerto Rico

we're hoping to drop anchor at

Gilligan's Island there's a nice little

Anchorage so that we can stop for the

night and hopefully we won't get spoken

to by the police because we were told

that the police boats would come and

question you and try to get you to move

on because they don't want actually I

don't think they want any boats out

cruising
