Tropical Morning

Good morning from the tropics....
Summer has arrived in P.R. The days are near (or slightly above) 90 degrees and the nights mid to high 70s. We are still getting acclimated to tropical weather. The fans are going 24/7 keeping the boat livable. The trade winds have kicked back in and are acting as nature's air conditioner. The water is 88 degrees, and daily swims are a must. We are loving the tropical, cruising life style.
We left Boqueron yesterday morning at 7 AM for a trip "around the corner". Boqueron is located on the southern side of the west coast of Puerto Rico. So, we motored to the south side of the island to a little town called La Parguera. The waterfront homes are built on stilts and brightly painted with pastel colors. This is the antithesis of Boqueron...here it is quite, and lazy, a fishing/SCUBA diving village with no street carts, no crowds, no pulse; and the people here want it that way. There are several signs reminding everyone that there is a "Code of Conduct" in this town, and if you want partying etc, get out....simple.
Persephone is the only cruising boat in the anchorage. It is very nice to be alone after the crowds of Luperon, Mayaguez and Boqueron. We are going to hang in this area for a while before moving on. There are several reefs and small (one coconut tree type) islands which we need to explore. There is a bioluminescent lagoon lying just east of us. Here, microscopic plankton light up the surrounding water when disturbed. We are planning on taking the dinghy to the lagoon tonight to check it out.
Our position is 17 58.18 N 067 02.95 W
