The Boats Are Running!

Today we had a passenger boat!

The first to arrive to Culebra in the three weeks since Hurricane Earl! I would have loved to hoop and holler that the oppression had ended. But I was told that exactly twelve tourists got off the ferry. Eight of them climbed into the gaping yaws of the lined up publico vans... But I am happy to report that we were able to sequester one of them and force him to rent a bike! Yay! Business is up!

So once the morning rush was over and Dan left with his bike. It was time for a little kayak trip!




Yes those are my toes!

We headed down into the channel and I found this beautiful view of Mamacita's, Pasada La Hammocha and the newly restored bridge.




They did a great job on the bridge too. A car drove over it while we were under it and there was no fear involved, for either the driver of the car or for ourselves. This my dear friends is an improvement!

The clearness of the sky and the calmness of the eastern wind, made this an exceptional day for photography for me, and some great sight seeing for those of you who might be following along. I am told there are six of you. For that I am so grateful. Thanks!

Thought I'd try to entice one or more of you into joining me on the island by showing a couple of the water front establishments.

Villa Fulladoza Guest house Villa Boheme Guest House.

With this weeks occupancy I could call them Ghost houses... But the ferry is back and so is my enthusiasm for getting people to come and visit Culebra... Now that you can actually get here.

The water in the bay today was calm and clear. It might look green but your looking at the bottom folks. That's sea grass making it look green.

If you look closely you can see the tarpons laying in the water off the Dinghy Dock Restaurant. (You can double click any photo to blow it up.)

I feel so lucky to get to call this tiny island home!
