Ponce to Palmas del Mar, Puerto Rico

March 8, 2009

We had an easy crossing from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic over the Mona Passage to Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

The Mona passage is famous for it’s rough seas and many a Dominican Immigrant has died trying to cross to PR. For us, the crossing was rough, but bearable.

We anchored in Mayaguez around 9pm, 6 hours to cross the Mona. The next day we went to Ponce Yacht and Fishing Club, a private marina that entertains transients when there is space available. Nice people, we enoyed our time in Ponce (pictures to come!).

Now we are at Palmas Del Mar, near Fajardo, Puerto Rico, waiting for the weather to clear so we can continue on to Tortola, BVI.

Then onwards and south to Trinidad with the 46′ Tolleycraft!

Pictures to come…
