What this video covers

The crew of the sailboat *Chez Team* leaves their vessel on a mooring in Luperón, Dominican Republic, to embark on a two-week land-based excursion.2:17 While away, they coordinate a major replacement of the boat’s Bimini top.2:37 To facilitate travel across the country, they rent a propane-powered vehicle, noting that such fuel systems are standard and widely supported by infrastructure in the Dominican Republic, unlike in Argentina where propane-converted vehicles require more planning.5:43 The trip includes a stay at an all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana to rest after a period of intense sailing.7:53 The crew evaluates the resort experience, noting that while the natural surroundings and vegetation in Punta Cana are superior to similar developments in Cancún, the large scale of the property makes it difficult to fully utilize all amenities during a short stay.9:53 They observe that adult-only sections offer significantly more peace than family-oriented areas, which can be noisy and crowded.13:56 The crew plans to return to their boat to continue their travels and explore the Parque Nacional Los Haitises by water.6:52
