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.
Oh no! Just missed you guys, I wish I was paying closer attention to my youtube me and my wife would have loved to meet you guys in person while you were here in the Dominican Republic!
Thanks for this. Also would like to know about life in Luperon as a Liveaboard. Also nearby activities, and facilities medical, infrastructure, boat maintenance & capabilities etc. lastly long term in Luperon, I know you guys have been there a while and am interested. Thanks. Keep it up what you are doing.
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?
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
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.?
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?
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".

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.!

@@Clarks-Adventure thank you.
Luperons Bay is 1 of the safest Bays in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 & the Caribbean !
Great info guys
Thanks
Lovely ♥️♥️
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….
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.?
I'd call it the best hurricane hole in the northern Caribbean. I think we mention that in the first video in this series.
@@Clarks-Adventure 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?
No requirements
No requirements
What time of the year is it best to sail there…. Thanks
Any time. Just get yourself settled someplace safe before hurricane season. Luperon is very safe
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?
Yes. Similar
Like most of life, it's not what you know but who you know.
How's The Dominican Republic dealing with the issues in Haiti?
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.

They have good border security. Crazy concept for us US citizens to grasp.
Drink plenty of Luperon Specials!

👍!!!
