We waited for decent sunlight in order to leave the anchorage and sailed towards Salinas, the anchorage where we planned to stay for a while in order to visit Puerto Rico. Upon arrival to Salinas, we are surprised to see the (large) size of the anchorage ! Locals party in the mangroves! Several cruisers are anchored here…from Belfast, Canada, Germany, US, and we easily find a spot in this large “hurricane hole”..also home to manatees! That evening we hear a lound thump on the hull…Bienvenidos marineros!
