We now in Boqueron, a tiny weekend holiday area - it is Tuesday and everything is closed - the University students come down on the weekend and turn this peaceful little village into a large party - loud music and bedlam everywhere so we will be gone by then.

We went out to dinner last night with the "Luperon" crowd - many we had not met previously.  Whilst in a restaurant/bar a young man came up to me with devotion and love in his eyes and handed me two carnations- one red and one white.  I was speechless (and glad I had put a little makeup on and my best lacy top) - I was sure he had the wrong person - he was late 20's, a light mocha color, black hair with a sexy ponytail and muscles bulging under his "bad ass" t-shirt - and he gave me carnations !!!!  I later watched him give similar flowers to a young beautiful girl but that must have been his sister.  It was Valentines Day and I shall treasure those flowers forever.

Boqueron was a rolly anchorage so Don and I decided to move on down and around the Cape to the southern side of the island – with prevailing winds being easterly this side of the island should be a lot more protected.
The next stop was Gilligan's Island – I think someone employed by the Tourist Bureau and on the short line for dismissal thought up this one – the island was a tiny sand cay covered in mangroves. There were narrow deep channels running through the mangroves which were inteing to snorkel through. One small ferry boat arrived and there was standing room only – it was beautiful and very clean but in my memory did not resemble my favorite childhood show – no Mary-Ann, Ginger, Gilligan, The Captain, The Professor and Mr and Mrs – now what were their names ???

Anyway it was a nice still anchorage and a pleasant place to relax with very fewer boats.
