Sailing again...Culebrita

Yes...yes...yes...we went sailing again to Culebrita :) Our friends Bob and Judy and their friends Teri, and Gary and Carla also went on their sailboat SV Adastra, another Morgan 41 (not an Out Island but a Classic)...we had some fun in the sun at Culebrita beach, went to a natural whirlpool there called "the jacoozy", and had sundowners in the evening at the beach :)
As you can see a good time was had by all :) We even got to put in some girl time...whilst the boys went up to Culebrita Lighthouse I had yoghurt/muesli/fruit breakfast with Judy and Teri on ORION (Carla enjoyed some alone time on Adastra) and showed them how to bake a quiche on the stovetop in my wonder pot stovetop oven from Israel, which I named Oshra after the man who sells them. Oh...and they loved the anklets which I had made for them :)
A big thank you to Teri, who insisted on photographing my quiche baking session, because she wanted me to have photos with me in it! Very cool Teri :)

We left Culebrita on Saturday morning...firstly because we wanted to be back in Culebra to attend the annual fundraiser for the Culebra Animal Society...secondly because the "Puerto Rican Navy" was arriving at Culebrita for the three day weekend! The Puerto Rican Navy is an abundance of power boaters that invade the shores of Culebrita and various other normally quiet anchorages during weekends and holidays...they raft up as many boats as they can (usually around 15-20!) and start partying! It's good to see and hear them having fun, but we and most other sailors prefer to retreat to some other more quiet places...only to return after everybody has left...that's the privilege we have being free as birds and we take advantage of it whenever we can :)
We had a beautiful sail back under jib only...
and were able to take some nice photos of SV Adastra underway :)
Bob and Judy took some pics of ORION underway, which I will post as soon as I get them...
