We enjoyed our time in Salinas, Puerto Rico. It was a calm, protected anchorage which made boat maintenance easier. We researched and ordered several things to be shipped to our friend, Garry, who lives on St. Thomas, our next destination. Krina, who does canvas work, helped us prepare our canvas order for a new bimini and dodger (sun shades) and the two sail covers, all of which desperately need replacing. I tell Dave I feel like Ma and Pa Kettle with our duct-tape patchwork job. Hopefully nothing will come ripping apart before we get south to have the work done. Also ordered some electronic stuff.
Below are photos we took in the town of Salinas. Everyone we met was extremely polite and helpful.

Health food store where we found flax seeds and alfalfa seeds for sprouting Dave bought three T-shirts for 10 bucks. The kind proprietor gave me a bright pink bag like the green one here.  Another shop  The lovely central park  A beautiful Deco building  Men were placing bets on this antique horse race game. The proprietor turned a big crank to start the race.  A friendly if slightly inebriated gentleman showed us the place where roosters are raised for cock fights.  The roosters are cleaned free of feathers on their fronts. |
