check out this crazy array poets

we are about to arrive in salmon a

Dominican Republic we left looper on

we've sailed all day sailed all night

and sailed all day

ran into some squalls

motoring pretty much closed

because here with the East trade winds

are really really strong and it's so

strong in fact that the sea state gets

built right up and you really can't sail

on days where the trades are really

strong so you sail and they're not so

strong and unfortunately it seems to end

up being a motoring day every time

because you go in it's light and it's so

light that you really can't make any

headway

so we ended up motoring or motor sailing

pretty much the entire way we're

motoring right now the sea States has

been terrible honestly we had nice big

rollers in the beginning ten foot

rollers at hua 10-second interval but

then when the squalls hit everything

just went washing machine and we're back

to rollers and then washing machine and

just kind of like a strange mix of sea

State

the boats been rocking and rolling the

whole way and it hasn't been very

comfortable we're all not feeling very

so we're glad to get in to salmon this

is our last stop in Dominican Republic

we'll hang out here for a while

we're going to Puerto Rico

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

something went horribly wrong for these

guys looks like maybe this boat sank

during a I don't know a storm or a

hurricane or something

[Music]

yeah they're doing the local elections

today here in Dominican Republic and

they've had a pretty good turnout for

voting so far looks like so yeah pretty

great

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

your hair looks really good no well yeah

[Music]

yeah pee yeah I love them

friend of ours had a dinghy stolen last

night unfortunately a group of cruisers

all got together on their dinghies

looking for it

they found the dinghy itself the dinghy

motor is not turned up and we had no

luck finding it

they had their dinghy locked but the

dinghy was in the water they're not

interested in the dinghy itself they

want the motor so if you guys are

planning on coming to visit salmon uh

what I suggest to you is to take your

motor off your dinghy at night and put

it on a mount or ensure that the dinghy

is out of the water on your dabit salmon

is pretty cool place I found things a

little bit cheaper and looper on the

streets are really busy there's a lot

more mopeds going on I found that

there's quite a bit of car pollution I

found it a little hard to breathe but

I'm looking forward to going into the

mountains going on some hikes hopefully

hey guys so we left Samana and we're

heading over to the National Park just

on the other side of the Samana Bay the

reason we're doing this is because of

this outbreak of the corona virus and

Dominican Republic they only have eleven

cases but this morning they shut the

borders down for two weeks and we are

stuck in the Dominican Republic that's

not a bad thing I mean it is beautiful

here but over in this National Park we

should be a lot safer another to worry

as much so we just stopped up in Samana

got our dispatch iou's and every time

you leave a port here and Dominican you

need to get a legal dispatch EO from the

Navy to travel from port to port so we

have to do that we're back out in the

water we got a nice downwind sail we

don't feel very far now this park is

famous for the location of where they

shot Jurassic Park take the first movie

so that's gonna be great we'll try to

get some of that on camera and show you

guys there's also some really cool caves

there it's not gonna be a bad two weeks

and it could be worse I mean Dominican

Republic is it's really beautiful it's

cheap the people are friendly be safe

everyone and we will keep you guys

updated on what's happening with us and

the yacht's that we're traveling with

via the san lorenzo is where we spent

our two-week probe in nineteen

quarantine in the dominican republic we

shared this anchorage with five other

boats making up a small group that we

aptly named the quarren Atilla at that

time we were still allowed to go ashore

and explore the park
