Very disappointing conditions both days. Absolutely no openings. I spent
one day operating in PR (8 hours in FK67, 2 hours each
in FK68/78). Couldn't even raise any locals when in FK68/78. Sunday
morning caught a plane to St. Croix, VI and spent about 12 hours
looking for openings. Was treated to everything from heavy rain, wind and
beautiful views with visibility over 50 miles. Luckily,
the contest was not my primary purpose of the trip, so it was an adventure
instead of an expensive waste of time. Visited many areas
of Puerto Rico way off the tourist maps.
