Met the most interesting family the true PR Navy. 35' sail boat, no motor, 7 guys13-76 grandfather sons, grandsons and SIL. 10 days of bonding. They had sailed from PR in this salvaged boat. Just a completely fun group of guys. On to Marina Cay the next night, then on to VGYH for re provisioning. Headed to NS today for a few days. Life is good!!!
