Cabo Rojo, PR - Telemundo

We motored about 8 miles south of Boqueron to a small bay called Cabo Rojo. The trade winds have picked up and it's been blowing a pretty steady 15-20 knots out of the East each day. We are just at the southwest corner of the island of Puerto Rico, so once we turn the corner and start heading along the south coast we will have to make small jumps along the coast in the early morning before the wind pipes up.

Just for grins we tried to catch the national news on TV last night. We figured that we are in US territory, surely they broadcast the major channels right? No such luck, just Univision, Telemundo, and a whole host of other Spanish-language channels. We had great reception, but some of the programming that they show is pretty crazy. They have these variety-entertainment shows that give "Wallace & Ladmo" a run for its money -- grown-ups dressed as pirates and clowns and god knows what. I kept expecting to see the bumblebee guy from the Simpsons wander onto the screen. On their version of "Entertainment Tonight", one of the co-anchors was a puppet. A puppet, I kid you not. Take that, Mary Hart.

Where we are:
Location=Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico
Lat=17 56.564
Lon=67 11.828
