LAHOWIND » Just you, me, + the dog.

Programming Note.

Guess what ya’ll??? We are finally hitting the road again this week. Ahhhh! Super exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are leaving Puerto Real, Cabo Rojo and will be leisurely making our way around the southern coast of the island, most likely hitting up spots like Boqueron or La Parguera, Ponce, Salinas, and the Spanish Virgin Islands, before hopping over to the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. :)))

^^definitely not a precise route, lol, but you get the picture.^^

But unfortunately, as we sail away from our quaint marina home in Puerto Real and eventually leave Puerto Rico altogether as we head towards the Virgin Islands, that means we will (immediately) loose our free marina wifi and (eventually) our lovely American cell service. Pooey. It’s a tradeoff, I suppose.  We are headed for what are sure to be some of the most gorgeous sailing grounds in the world! And we can hardly wait!

At this point, we have zero clue whether we will head further south after the Virgin Islands, or if we’ll love it so much we’ll just hang tight until we get bored. Only time will tell.

But for now, I’ll simply apologize for what I’m sure will be a lag in upcoming posts over the next few weeks as we get our bearings and figure out the best spots to grab some free (and hopefully fast) wifi.

>>Thanks for visiting LAHOWIND sailing blog! We’d love for you to get to know us and follow our story as we attempt to navigate a whole new world of sailing, as we cruise the Caribbean.

I love following your adventures. We’re hoping to catch up with you in the islands some time. Enjoy every minute !!

Nice work! Have fun on your travels! Have a pain killer for us please!

Don’t know what cell service you have, but we actually had decent AT&T service in the BVI as long as we had line of sight with USVI. So, you probably won’t lose it until you get too far East. If you’re in the BVI long enough I’m pretty sure that DigiCell can hook you up fairly cheaply with some wifi service too.

I’m interested, do you know the requirements for Oliver? We have a dog, and figuring out those logistics is one of my biggest concerns.

Can’t wait to hear about your travels!
