last night the boat broke down AGAIN and with the crowds arriving for the Patronales festival this week, hundreds were stranded in Fajardo until around 11pm.

It will be difficult and crowded no matter which mode of transportation you use this week, but avoid the boat!

Henry, the driver who was to take my husband and daughter from SJU to the ferry port toomorrow, and was to get out tickets, called in a panic on Wednesday morning. He had been to the lancha office and told there were no more seats available for the rest of the month. Henry said he talked to the main guy there and he is ususlly able to work out something, but was told there was no way. So, our plans have changed. We are all flying out of Isla Grande. It sounds like the situation has worsened since Wednesday. I really had to scramble to get flights!!

There are boats running , one just arrived with 2 wedding parties for the weekend and a load of Patronales revelers, but they were just lucky.

many are being left behind for the next run.

That is no way to spend your vacation, waiting til midnight for a boat!

Some of our guests had reservations on Vieques starting today and they also are not able to get any ferry tickets for this weekend. They are at the airport now trying to arrange for a flight over and hoping they won't be stranded. So anyone who has plans to go to Vieques, listen to Viequessiren and don't even waste your time trying to get ferry tickets this weekend.
