We for a road trip today, put on by Henry and his wife Jessica, owners of the Seaside Bar and Grill Restaurant. All the Los Gringo’s, The boats that were part of our flotilla and the ones that left Luperon the week before also joined us.
We were transported in Personal cars to the lighthouse, on the S/W corner of Puerto Rico, called Cabo Rojo.
All together there were 16 of us, who were given this first rate guided tour.
We stopped at a site that they have been harvesting salt since 700 AD., but was really put into production when Juan Ponce de Leon put the Taino Indians to work as slaves.
Today the fields produce salt used for livestock and for roads during winter.
We carried on to the lighthouse, close to our next anchorage once we leave here from Boquerón. Sometimes it’s nice to see things from a different perspective.
We toured the headland, swam in the bay, then chilled out on Playa Sucia ( Dirty Beach), named for the seaweed that litters the sand.
At the end of the day, we then went back to the restaurant to have a fantastic meal, and toasted our day with a Chachaito ( shooter), Puerto Rican specialty.
