Upon arrival to Vieques this morning, our ferry was met with protestors and dozens of police, both on land and sea. While planning, I gave this part of our adventures a 50/50 shot of occurring, partly due to the unreliable ferry system and then due to protestors interrupting service recently. The locals are concerned that since the island just opened back up to tourists, that we will bring COVID where there is currently none on the island and that tourists will have priority on accessing to the already unreliable ferry. Dozens of police are not in view, but are on jet skis, boats and at the ferry terminal. Last week, police shot water at the protestors because they blocked the ferries from arriving.

| Sand Glass Beach. It’s true to its name. We collected an entire quart size bag easily, and could have collected more.     |
