I have a question for you. You said you are on the south side of PR. Are there any good marinas with security in your area? Security has been a big concern to me. If the winds are out of the north, I would want to run the south coast of PR, provided I get that far.

What kind, and how big a boat would you need to be able to just drive everyday, and not care about the weather? Or could you do it in Bob's boat, at the expense of a rough, slow ride? Or would you get swamped and drown?
