We arrived at the Marina Del Rey in Fajardo, PR on January 25, 2022 and spent a few days getting crew on their way back to their homes, resting, and converting the boat from “delivery” to “cruising” mode. Soon enough we were ready to explore Puerto Rico and its surrounding islands. Our port of arrival,…
