We made it to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on one engine.
The twin 240 perkins run perfectly, except one transmission failed on us around Samana. We made a sprightly 6 knots from Samana to Punta Cana in 8 foot seas. The 1970 46′ Tolleycraft we are on handled the swells just fine, and we made it here safely.
The CapCana Marina (www.CapCana.com) is a beautiful property. It was recently opened and features condos, hotels, golf courses, and some beautiful beaches. Andrew is the dockmaster, a bilingual Sarasotian from Florida. He has helped us quite a bit since our arrival.
We are awaiting a transmission mechanic to investigate the repairs to the boat, before we are off to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico (about 90 miles from here).
Meanwhile, Capt Jeff and I are renting a car to go to the grocery store and shopping to replenish the boat.
