Still in Boqueron

For no good reason, we are still in Boqueron harbor. But, we do plan to get out out of here Tuesday or Wednesday. Sunday is a big day here and lots of people come to town and strangley, Sunday's are the big party days here in town. Tomorrow we will finish up our major porvisioning as we are told that Puerto Rico is the last place headed SE to get what you need and at stateside prices.
The weather has been near perfect for the nearly two weeks we have been here with no rain and very few clouds to contend with. Our 550w solar has fairly well kept our batteries up and maybe have run the generator a total of 5 hours or so the whole time we've been here and that was mainly to make hot water for showers and run the a/c watermaker.
We typically get mid-morning winds of up to 15kts or so that die off late evenings. The holding here is excellent in heavy mud, which is a bit hard to get set but I believe we could get 40kt + wind still not move and inch. Even with the winds here, the bay stays fairly flat and affords dry dinghy rides.
