We got most of the boat jobs finished yesterday with the exception of refilling the propane tank. We were only successful in finding "exchange" places, no "refilling" places. Good thing the other tank is full.

We had quite a bit of rain today and heavy at times. A good fresh water washing for CS'ta Time. The sun is trying to peak through now and the temp is in the low 80s.

About those winds, apparently they are unusually strong this year. Even the locals are complaining. Just our luck!

Jorge helped Joe install his windvane today (the fellow who gave us a lift to San Juan). He, in turn, brought us to the bar/restaurant to watch another soccer match (Jorge is happy!) as we have already put the dinghy on the davits for our anticipated departure around 1700 today. Things are looking good for a run to the island of Culebra (14 hours if all goes well). Three boats are leaving: Serenada, Leeloo (a French Canadian couple we first met in Annapolis) and CS'ta Time. From there we are only a hop, skip and jump from St. Thomas - finally the Virgin Islands!

Not sure what the internet will be like in Culebra as the intended anchorage doesn't appear to have a town close by. Stay tuned.
