Ballyhoo fishing on our way to Culebra for NYE
We left Old San Juan the morning that Roger’s parents departed and decided to make our way back to Culebra for their famous NYE party. We tried fishing with Ballyhoo for the first time as all our Powerboat Fish Junkie friends form Club Nautico recommended it to us… we ran into some hungry fish along the way, ate some ceviche, and enjoyed the mild conditions perfect...

Roger and Don put 2 new windows into Palapa during our stay at Club Nautico de San Juan making her virtually leak free… well almost. Forward hatch is still got some minor leakage but it’s on the board. Roger has been working his butt off on the BIA watch project so I’m now taking on some of his task including this blog. I prefer the picture part not quite the avid writer Roger is but my spelling is better.

Corona parents came to meet us in BVI’s for the 3rd whirlwind Palapa tour of the BVI’s which included a first trip to Anegada and the usual faves… Myetts, Saba Rock, Leverick and Soggy Dollar.
