Enjoying the wait for weather in Samana, DR

El Limon waterfalls

While we wait for the right weather window to open up, we are enjoying our stay at Puerto Bahia, Samana in the good company of several other cruising boats: Slow Waltz, White Gold, Simplicity, Serenade, LeeLou, & Nightwatch .... a terrific group of people.

Together, we rented a couple of vans and ventured out to the falls at El Limon. A good hike up, but we were rewarded with a cooling dip in the pool beneath the falls. The local boys are like monkeys... scaling the moss lined rocks (practically a cliff side) only to throw themselves off into the pool. A crazy fun place.

We also toured around Las Terranes' beaches on the north shore of the DR, stopping at a beachside restaurant for pizzas.

….it seems all the world's problems don't matter anymore...

I love palm trees 

There is another regatta here next weekend, and participation is rewarded with 3 free nights stay and some food and drinks thrown in also - so we're in! We love this place.
