Guest Entry From My Sis!

Capt Chris, sunny and beautiful
Well, our trip to Puerto Rico has come to an end. As usual Alexa and I have met wonderful people. The cruising community is very special. Alexa made a wonderful new friend named Emily. They bonded immediately, Alexa even had a sleep over!! Chris is a wonderful host. We trekked to the island of Culebra and I do mean trekked. After missing the first ferry and having 6 hours to kill before the next one, we had to hike all of our gear back to the car. Alexa was not a happy camper and we almost had a "PTS" which is Chris code for Pouting Type Situation. Now that I think of it, we didn't have one PTS which is pretty amazing. The only thing that Alexa broke this time was Chris's diving mask. Another pretty amazing thing since after our first stay aboard the Christa, Alexa was dubbed "the human wrecking ball". Poor Alexa! After finally boarding the ferry for Culebra at 3pm which left late, we made it to Flamenco Beach campground. By this time we were hot and tired and unknowingly chose the farthest campsite available. Par for the course for our day. The beach was spectacular and a fine time was had by all. We had planned on hiking in El Yunque rain forest but we decided we had had enough travel and we parked ourselves at the marina pool for the rest of our stay. Sun and relaxation was on the schedule for the rest of our stay. We had a great 4th of July picnic with the Burton family at the Cruisers Galley. We also had a movie night, since no trip is ever complete without watching Captain Ron. I envy Chris this wonderful adventure however I am so happy to be able to share parts of it with him. Alexa and I hope to share many more ports. Thank you Chris and Christa!!
