Yes, we left the USA again…kind of. We had a short sail over to Culebra, an island off of Puerto Rico. Our guide book instructed us that the Customs office was a “Short Walk” from the town dock. So we dinghied into the town dock walked around and asked a few people where Customs was but nobody had a clue. So I waved down a Police vehicle and asked him. They told us the only Customs office was at the airport but they would give us a ride so we hopped in the back of the police car and got a free ride to Customs. Afterwards we had quite the walk back into town and to our dinghy but the exercise is good for us. This is a VERY quiet place with not much activity. A real “Chillin’ Out” kind of place so that’s what we are doing. We took the dinghy under the no-longer-functioning lift bridge to the other side of the island but it was just as quiet. Then we went through the Mangrove swamp and heard the “Oyster Catchers” (the bird in the photo) eating their oysters. That night all around the boat we watched a new phenomenon. Staring into the dark water we saw what I can only describe as “firefly” lights flashing on and off…what a sight.
