SY Angel of London

We arrived at Puerto Plata on the North Coast of the Dominican Repblic after a 40 hour passage from Guanica on the South Coast of Puerto Rico. There were some huge elephant sized waves in the Mona Passage and Angel handled all well.

Ah...the land of excellent coffee, great cigars and vintage rum....

It is not cold here. There is no snow. Sorry it is just beautiful. We are entering the area where just a sheet will do to sleep under and the days are warm and sunny. Not so bloddy hot as 500 miles to the south where we were a month ago.

The people of the Dominican Republic are perhaps the most happy, friendly and welcoming in the Caribbean.

About:	We just love living in the marine environment which enables us to "sea" our lives from a different perspective. We continue to seek to free ourselves from misguided concepts of success such as "status" and "net worth". [...] More
Extra:	When I heard the learn'd astronomer; When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me; When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them; When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room, How soon, [...] unaccountable, I became tired and sick; Till rising and gliding out, I wander'd off by myself, In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time, Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars. Walt Whitman 1892 More
