Christopher Columbus in Santo Domingo
It was a long sail from Salinas to Boca Chica. I sailed
right by Santo Domingo, the capital, which looked vast. It’s only 12 miles away
from here.

At the moment there’s 30-knot winds and thunderstorms so I’m
stuck here for a few days. Fortunately my friends on s/v Calbodine, an awesome
family from Quebec - a couple and three children, are here too, also waiting
for the wind to calm down a bit. I met them in Ile a Vache, and have been sailing
east with them since then. Soon they will turn south and head to the ABCs for
hurricane season.
We went to Santo Domingo for a day trip to the absolutely
beautiful old colonial part of the city. It was all very pirate.
Betsy and Nelson
The bollards are old canons
We had pizza for lunch in a very Mediterranean feel square.
We found two chocolate museums and bought big half pound bars of organic dark
chocolate.
