Late Feb-Early March...Culebra, Puerto Rico!!

What a couple of Months it has been! Yet again, I am searching for excuses as to why we fall so delinquent with such a simple task of keeping a proper log/pictures??  I have decided to catch up by starting off in small batches of dates and pictures. 

We spent at least 2-3 weeks at one of our favorite places in the Caribbean, Culebra, PR!  We have visited this place by plane at least three other times.  Always it was part of our dream to experience the island via our own boat.  I have to pinch myself sometimes to the reality of all of our dreams with cruising have and still are coming true (so blessed). 

Had a wonderful time sharing this experience with all of our buddy boats, Ultra, Sabbitcus and Dance Aweigh.  We all went to the famous Flamenco Beach, played hard in the waves body surfing.  Of course snorkling was top priority.  Unfortunately, most of the water surrounding the island is nature protected...no lobstas for SolMate (though Brandon saw several...poop).  We also got to celebrate Kevin's birthday aboard his boat Sabbitcus, such great company, food and libations!

 Here are some photos from our time in Culebra, as well as the little island South called Culebrita.

Next up will be a blog for March in St Thomas, St John and BVI's.  We had an incredible time in Culebra and was looking forward to March.  Which included a visit from Carryn's Dad, Brandon's birthday party, BVI's and poor Bella Boo's terrible mishap with her broken leg!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter holiday and we hear the weather all over the states is gorgeous with Spring in full bloom.  Sure do miss the flowers and gardening.  Send us some pictures to enjoy of your yards and or Easter holiday!

Love to All -

Brandon, Carryn and Belly-boo
Aloha for now....
