2026-03-15 Another lumpy trip to Culebra

We stayed in Roosevelt Road a couple more days.   Roosevelt Roads was a navy base commissioned in 1943.  It would eventually become one of the largest naval facilities in the world, encompassing more than 100 miles of paved interior roads.   In 2004 the base was closed, and recently reopened again in 2025.   Lots of roads and buildings in disrepair.  

Went for a couple of walks, and explored some abandoned buildings that used to be part of the military base.  Did not come across the re-opened section.  Think that part is closer to the airport.

The marina where we leave our dinghy when heading ashore.  Don't know who owns it our its use, but no boats here at all.

Parked school bus at the nature center (that was never open)  Buses here got bling

Old bus stop near the old Sea Bees base

Building no longer in use

Iguana was making a home of the old naval base

Abandoned building on a scenic point of land

Looks like a bar and restaurant may have been here at one time

We left Roosevelt Roads on Wednesday for another lumpy motor over to Culebra.   The weather for the past couple of weeks has been just strong east winds with no breaks. 

In Culebra we walked to town and checked out the ice cream store.

More chickens in town, cute little chicks

Things are starting to flower around town

Also walked over to D's produce and got some fresh fruits and veggies.

All this for $25.00

More walking around

This is our plan for warm afternoons as well

We have been mostly just relaxing, doing some odd projects every morning, and afternoon being lay about slugs.

We have mail coming on Monday, so after we pick that up we will head out to somewhere new.
