From the British Virgin Islands, we decided to head straight to the Dominican Republic. We had not stopped before, but had heard good reports, so heading to the recommended Puerto Bahia marina in Semana on the north east coast of the island.
 |
| Great sailing to the DR with our favorite sail the G2, easy to put up and always as easy to snuff. |
 |
| Daryl, as usual, managed to get us the best spot in the marina, right alongside the pool, bar and restaurant in this beautiful marina. The island is a lush green and we were keen to head to town and see what that was like. |
 |
| Relaxing by the pool! What a hard life. |
 |
At the market in Semana, this must be parts of the biggest Calamari I have ever seen, comparing to the ladies arm!
(Sorry can't seem to get the photo the right way up!) |
 |
| The local shoe store in town, there were a lot of traders using vehicles as shop windows. The town was interesting, but rather rundown and poor. It seemed like a different country from the marina, which is a gated community with fabulous houses and landscaping. You could visit the marina and get a completely false impression of the character of the island. |
