Well you learn something every day.... Today we learned that we need a visa (not the payment type) to enter US territories on a private vessel. We weren't arrested, but it was probably as close as it gets. We now have just 3 days to see some of Puerto Rico. We are currently seeing a marina! We spent a happy hour or so with US Homeland Security fingerprinting and filing all kinds of forms and stuff. I never realised the potential for paperwork that we represent. Wow! The sad part is the $130 fine(?) goes to the treasury rather than the staff Christmas fund!
We now plan to head back to BVI for Christmas and New Year, perhaps that should read, US Immigration plan for us to head back to BVI for Christmas!
Finally managed to get a photo of the fish in the dock by the restaurant. They are called Tarpin and are about 3.5 feet long. Apparently they hang out for scraps. We left Culebra this morning, and headed to the Western end of Puerto Rico to a place called Fajardo. Apparently there are two lage forts guarding the harbour, although I suspect the reefs and rocks were pretty effective on their own.
We tried the watermaker again today - the product is called a "waterlog" - hmmm. We stand no chance of being waterlogged, and "watermaker" is possibly actionable! Do we spend more on it - or is it a case of good money after bad?
....... one of those days.... I can't seem to upload the videos I wanted to, and I've just had a message that this post may fail. Trying now, otherwise tomorrow looks attractive...
