[@johndagher9321]

Happy Easter guys!

[@tonyminsine7182]

Really like these types of videos. Keep them coming

[@vt2lachris]

Very clear drone shots highlighting the “danger zones” And a lovely couple at the 12 minute mark. 🤣😜🇩🇴

[@gking5522]

A well presented primer on Luperon for Cruisers. Thanks and yes, please do more of these.

[@sailingunity]

Great explanation of Luperon. I was just there and loved it. It was great meeting you guys at the captains table.

[@mememe5231]

Great informative video! Thank you as always

[@Clarks-Adventure]

So glad you like it. Thanks for the comment.

[@nealgrant7727]

A very useful and interesting video Thank you.

[@Clarks-Adventure]

You are very welcome. Thanks for saying so.

[@rainfinger]

Great video! The best hurricane hole in the Caribbean is Spanish Waters, Curacao, with no hurricanes. The DR gets hit with hurricanes.

[@boondockshawks]

Cool new video format - cruisers guide style! Hope to see a few more like this from you two. ⛵️

[@Clarks-Adventure]

You might like this as well. It's one of our earliest videos so rough. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpOtkJmqhK2Ljpo

[@boondockshawks]

I will definitely check it out

[@rmcnabb]

Fantastic "news you can use." Thanks E&C.

[@westmc45]

Thank you for this I am getting ready to leave Shelter Bay Marina on my way there in about one month. It’s nice to get real live information that’s up to date looking forward to part 2 and 3 maybe I will see you there thanks

[@michaelhulslander3821]

This is the series I have been waiting for. My wife has property about 3 hours from there and an apartment in Santo Domingo. She isn’t into being on a boat long term so I plan to make this our stay during hurricane season.

[@StevenM.Cherry]

Love the cruising guide style here - everything very well put together, drone shots, satellite, navigation. Any more of these you can do will be most welcome!

[@Clarks-Adventure]

Thanks Steven Did you see this old one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpOtkJmqhK2Ljpo

[@SVFresh2Salty]

This is absolutely awesome ! We are tied to the USA and Bahamas for the next two years but this guide will be helpful in the future Thankyou for putting it together !

[@greenlee1630]

👍🏻 GREAT CONTENT … learning about batteries is nice but I want to see more of this. Thank you Emily and Clark!

[@Clarks-Adventure]

I agree. The battery stuff is getting old. I'm done with reviews for a while. I think I'll do a couple interesting battery builds but then it's no more batteries for a while. Reviews are a LOT of work!

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

Thank you so so much for the information looking forward to future videos of this type. PS: I love all of your videos

[@Paco-p6e]

Excellent! Videos like this are great!

[@ahmetsezai]

Very nice content, Clark. Thanks for sharing the info. Cheers!

[@philcheevers6587]

lmao. i asked for this and I think you delivered it before I asked by about a week. And it was excellent. Thank you. Now, can i get there from Augustine Fla in time for the season, and will it ever get full? Love your work. Cheers, Cambio

[@steveburke7675]

Nice vid...looking fwd to the "checking in"

[@johnnylightning1491]

If my RV could float this would be great help. Alas my wife is a confirmed land lubber so no boats for me. Keep the good stuff coming. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@weedknoll]

Great video! Thank you for doing these. Very helpfull.

Very helpful.

[@marklapierre5629]

I love it. Give me more.

[@srupp9271]

I like the video and the advice. I have been to the Dominican Republic I think about 10-12 years ago. I have traveled quite a bit over my lifetime. The Dominican Republic was probably one of the unsafest country I have ever been in.Especially if you don't speak Spanish. At least stay away from Santo Domingo. Maybe it has changed over the past 10 years. And maybe if I do ever get another boat again and go cruising I might give this port a try.

[@Clarks-Adventure]

Yes. Luperon isn't perfect but it's way safer then Santa Domingo

[@norbertjoos]

Great advice

[@mattipollari8905]

I went through there in 2013 , and truly loved the place and the people! I wonder if there is a possibility of a haul out with my current 7.5 foot keel? I have been at Nanny Cay for the past 4 years and it is time to travel, plus I have a friend who is in the Bahamas on a 42 ft monohull.

[@Clarks-Adventure]

You would have to check with the yard. I know that for "special" boats they can bring in a crane.

[@tartansailor]

This video comes to me just at the right time. I am planning to get to Luperon mid June from Puerto Rico and leave it there for 6 month as I get back home. I have yet to decide if I will leave the boat in the water or haul it out, Money aside, what would you recommend especially as I will be away during hurricane season. Thanks for your guidance, Richard

[@Clarks-Adventure]

Both good choices. If you need paint haul???

[@lenwhatever4187]

Yeah that was good.... chances of me using it are low... but maybe some day I will attempt the NW passage from Alaska to Baffin Isl. and down.... visit family in Lower Canada and come down..... Not sure the Panama c will still be there if i make it down to Mexico... The boat is small enough to be shipped by truck across to the gulf of Mexico I guess. Have a good one.

[@jeffcee9457]

Very helpful info what's the best time of the year to go down from the U,S

[@Clarks-Adventure]

Anytime the hurricanes aren't coming. Winter has fronts you might have to wait out and then use

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

So since we've already been exhausted before, we won't be exhausted for the first time when we visit Luperon so would that make it safer for us? ;> Couldn't resist treating you like family. I can hear you saying - "Oh boy! What a crummy family!!". Best!

[@Clarks-Adventure]

I hated that so much during editing but just not enough to overdub with the obvious sound difference that always happens with recording. Glad the point made it through.

[@svgitana2499]

Hey I hear great things about it but I hear the water is very nasty! Is that true?!

[@Clarks-Adventure]

It's a closed Mangrove bay. So it's dark water and full of growth.

[@svgitana2499]

@@Clarks-Adventure and had I watched the video BEFORE asking the question, I wouldn’t have waisted your time since you talk about it on your video 😅 🍻 cheers

[@scottkrebs586]

1st lol. My friend and co-captain has an American hang-up where he denies, "Vas a tener que aprender a hablar español." Methinks he'll live to re-evaluate that opinion... :)

[@Clarks-Adventure]

I function with only basic Spanish. Many speak none at all.

[@scottkrebs586]

@@Clarks-Adventure Staying close to the beaten [tourist/cruising] path, you're correct - one can get by hablando solo ingles. It strikes me as being useful to have the ability to communicate with the indigenous personnel with a smattering of Spanish if one wants to trade in drinking water, fuel, or the catch of the day when visiting more off-the-beaten-path places like San Andres, San Blas, or Bocas del Toro, for instance. Certainly if venturing further south, perhaps to Columbia, having that in your tool belt makes life easier. I think he'll be okay as long as I can teach him "dos cervezas por favor" he'll get along... lol ;D

[@scottkrebs586]

But, leaving useless comments to feed the YT algorithm aside, I do appreciate the thorough Luperon walk-through, it's very useful to have in the tool belt and much appreciated! Reminds me of the Bimini check-in vid.
