Today we rented a scooter and explored the grounds at the marina more... yes you need a scooter. The grounds of the compound are about the size of Manhattan.

Later in the day we took off for La Romana the town leaving the compound. On exiting the compound gates the guard said in spanish "good luck, be careful".... OK... so into La Romana. A great town. Very busy and man things to see. We had lunch at the local super market area then ventured west of town. After a 2 hour ride on the scooter we then went back east of town to Bayahibie (sp).

I am happy to speak very frankly about sailing, living aboard, living in the Caribbean, leaving the US system, or any other topic you want to discuss. I have watched many people come and go from boating in the time I have been living aboard, both those living on smaller boats and those living on 110 foot mega yachts. It seems that many people come expecting tropical paradise and are shocked to find paradise is not always what you see in the pictures but includes some mosquitoes, huge bugs, poverty, stray dogs, crime, drugs, and many other problems left out of the tourist photos.
