At the top, is the entrance to the harbor. And the blue Atlantic Ocean.
I missed my kids and my grandkids so much, I had to temporarily adopt some Dominican kids. This is Yosmeli, Maria, and Mikey. (left to right) They have never been on a boat or the water before. They were hanging onto the dinghy for dear life on the ride to the boat. These kids have nothing. No toys, video games, etc. They don't hang out at the mall or go to the movies. I would have loved to take them to Ocean World!
I couldn't believe the huge smiles on their faces when I showed them the boat. They were also excited to have some American food. (all I had was chocolate pudding and granola bars) I showed them the TV and the DVD and then showed them where we were on the charts. Mikey got to sit in the captain's chair and he said it felt good...real good.
On the way back, Larry let Mikey drive the dinghy. He looked like he had one to many Presidente's (Dominican beer) The had a great time and wanted to come back the next day. Of course, this is not usually what is done..bringing them on the boat. The crusiers say to watch out because it may not be them, but who they brag to and what they saw on the boat that causes problems. Oh well, I guess we will see if we have our electronics still on board next time we go out. It was worth it!
Our new transportation while here. Not a bad deal, paid $600 with a buy back guarantee. Next post will be of me and my grandkids back in Utah!
