We just heard about the earthquake in Haiti. Noone has given us any information yet, we found out on the news on the internet and have been following the updates on CNN, Aftonbladet and SvD.


The Dominican Republic has also been affected since the two countries are both on the island of Hispaniola. But we are ok, and plan on leaving the marina in Puerto Plata early tomorrow morning and head to Grand Bahamas, Freeport. A tsunami warning has been issued, however we believe we are safe at this coast...


We didn't feel anything where we were, but we have read that swedish tourists just nearby felt the quake. We have just about now tied up the boat so it's even more safe on its spot in the marina, just in case if anything is heading towards where we are. But our plans on leaving tomorrow morning has not changed, we will see if there is some more information for us tomorrow when we wake up.


We will be out of reach for the next five days since we are sailing straight up to Grand Bahama Island but will update the blog as soon as we get there and tell you a little bit more on our new plans on getting the boat into the states with no b2 visa.
