Tired of paying the exhorbitant marina prices , we decided to find an anchorage to hang out in for a while and we came upon Playa De Rapita. We hung out here for a week it was so nice. The water was awesome; clear, turquoise, warm and inviting. The beach was clean and fun. The town marina nearby offered internet so we would dinghy to the cafe, order coffee and sit for a while. Who could want for more? We met up with Tony who was on another American boat but he was actually Swiss. He kept the boat registered in the USA to avoid the European VAT tax of up to 20%. He taught us how to catch the little fish, rig them onto a line and fish for Dorado. He seemed to always have a fish hanging off his stern but we were not so lucky...oh well, we had fun in the process. Then came the Thunderstorms. I haven't seen a light show like the one we saw yesterday in a long, long time. A gal in the restaurant today said it hasn't rained for five months so this deluge is a welcome thing.

Isn't it great to be back at anchor?
