CapCana Marina, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

February 24, 2009

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.

More pictures and stories to come!
