Getting there

We are on the road! The alarm clock went off at 3:00, was very early, and discovered first that the fridge had been dripping water all night, I was at least immediately right awake! The big bag was still too heavy (I don’t know if we had expected that that would change overnight), so we transferred some stuff in our hand luggage, we are now dragging four pretty heavy bags around the airport. 

We had expected all kind of scrutiny with the “no-water, coats off and shoes in the bin” control, but we just flew through, with that we had lots of time to get a very good breakfast. In the waiting area were a couple of guys very loud discussing the elections and politics, I was so hoping not to hear anything about this for a long time!!!!!!!!!! 


After an uneventful flight we arrived around two in San Juan and were soon on the way to Salinas. The Lady Hawk was peacefully floating in the water and we were happy to see her. It was a little messy inside so the thought occurred that the launch had probably not gone very smoothly. But suddenly we missed the bikes and two toolboxes and an emergency light, there had been a break-in! Jacques sent some choice dutch words out to all the people of Puerto Rico, we all know the sound of that.

After the first clean-up we took a good drink on our arrival and even with the stolen goods we are very happy to start our third season on our Lady Hawk.
