This video covers:

I wish I could make it to Luperon, but my RV doesn't float too well. However if I was going to Luperon this video would be helpful. Keep the good stuff coming.

Me, too. For DIY on my sailboat, is there easy access to purchase good plywood and other wood? I've heard you cannot work on your boat (doing boat projects) at anchor? Is this true?

@EmilyAndClark Ай бұрын

Keep it reasonable and make friends. Anything is possible. Yes you can get marine plywood in town. Ask around. If you hear no, ask other people

😍thank is beautiful.!

There is a free hospital and emergency room with basic services within walking distance of the government dock. It's much more accessible than places like the Bahamas. There is also private insurance available for more substantial medical care. -E

My boat is currently in Jacksonville, Florida. I was wondering when the best time of the year to Sail there, Big fan of yours, Michael….

@EmilyAndClark Ай бұрын

Most any time. During the winters you use fronts to go east. During the summer winds tend to be lighter but you have to watch for hurricanes

Could Luperon be considered a "hurricane hole"? Could you do a vid about weathering out the storm season in the Carib and not running back to the states, etc.?

@EmilyAndClark 28 күн бұрын

I'd call it the best hurricane hole in the northern Caribbean. I think we mention that in the first video in this series.

@@EmilyAndClark Yep - sorry - now that I have actually watched all the videos I see that! (Rule 1: watch all the videos.)

What sort of vessel insurance requirements do you find yourself running into, at Luperon and other northern Caribbean destinations?

@EmilyAndClark 26 күн бұрын

No requirements

Can you please tell us about cell phones and internet service? Right now in the US Virgin Islands we have cell phone with truly unlimited hotspot (I used 150GB last month) for US$40. Is there anything similar in the DR?

@EmilyAndClark Ай бұрын

Yes. Similar

How's The Dominican Republic dealing with the issues in Haiti?

@EmilyAndClark Ай бұрын

The border is closed of course. But it's life as usual for us cruisers. It never was a very open boarder before of course, Haiti has always had issues. Haitians living here can't go back to update their visas so they are concerned as they are technically "illegal".

@SailingMarly Ай бұрын

They have good border security. Crazy concept for us US citizens to grasp.
