Made it to the DR!

Mom and Don arrived safely in the Dominican Republic just in time for the sunset Tuesday night. It was a long day of sailing but the majority of it was great with a few hours of rough sailing. Wednesday morning they were able to check in with customs and then off to enjoy the rest of the day. They've already met an entire family that has showed them around the town and invited them over for dinner! I'm not sure what the plans are for the next few days but they are currently anchored near Manzanillo Bay just outside of Monte Cristi, DR.

I'll keep you posted!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy 60th Birthday to my beautiful, adventurous mom!!! I miss you so much but I'm so happy you are able to live this amazing dream! I'm guessing that being on a boat somewhere between the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic is probably a very nice way to spend your birthday! Soak up the sun, pour a glass of wine and make a toast to the amazing person you are! Love you so much and can't wait to talk soon.


UPDATE for those reading the blog:

I last heard from Mom and Don on Friday, 3/23 and they were at Crooked Island, Bahamas waiting on good weather in order to begin the trip to the Dominican Republic. I believe there was at least one stop before making it to the DR but the weather had not been cooperating. I will keep you posted once I hear from them next.
