Hangin’ in Mayaguez
Mayaguez Sunset
Today we finally got it together enough to take Namaste in to Mayaguez and check out the town. Surprisingly, it was quite a large city that is well camouflaged from the bay. We got some new refrigerant to recharge our fridge, got a few staple food items (bananas, chips, whisky), and walked up to the university campus. The down is pretty run down as most metro areas are, but the campus is very nice. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant near the university. English is a second language here but just about everyone we ran into spoke a little. We got a lot of Spanish practice and even used Uber to get around.
We had a bit of an adventure getting back to the boat. The west wind picks up in the afternoon and was kicking up some significant waves. It was somewhat of a challenge getting Namaste off the dock in those conditions, but we had the help of three good samaritans. I wish I knew their names, they said they were there to “help tourists.” Well, they helped!
Tomorrow the plan is to sail south a bit to Boquron bay.
