The VHF is a wonderful invention. It enables "yachties" to keep in contact with each other anywhere. We heard several discussing the weather this morning. Since we'd missed the National Weather Service forecast yesterday, this was valuable information. Apparently, a front is going to move through this area tomorrow on its way to Puerto Rico, and then a stronger front will come through on Thursday, so it sounds as if Tuesday is the time to go.
We also heard an announcement that a group of yachties are planning to rent a van and go to Puerto Plata tomorrow. That might be interesting, so we let them know we might like to go.
We enjoyed a relaxing day. Roy and I paddled towards the ocean and back. This is an exceptionally well-protected harbor. There is land on every side, and the shores are lined with mangroves.
After lunch, we took naps, and then Roy repaired the alternator, while I began plotting our course to Samana. We also found out our clocks are an hour behind local time. No wonder the sun rises so early!
Roy went into town by himself in the evening and saw a dead horse lying in the middle of the street!
