Well we didn't stay in the D.R. long but we did enjoy. This is a new marina on the north side about 10 miles from Luperon and a couple of mikes from Porto Plata called Ocean World. I guess if you are looking for a easy place to check in this would be the easiest place we have found.The navy comes to the boat and checks you in and you walk up to the main marina and there is customs and immigrations right there. It was 23.00 and 20.00 to leave NO Bribes.

They have a Casino water park restaurants liquor stores and Vegas still shows. Just damn near anything you can want. Just down the road with in walking distance are plenty of places to eat & drink on the cheap, if you are like me. The little guy is Cris and his food is good. He's from Canada and very friendly. We made it to Samana and waited for 1 day for weather and left. I really hated to leave because I found a little open air cantina with 50 Peso Bohemia beer in the 32 oz. bottle. There is not a finer beer made and that is the only place you can get it.

We had a good crossing of the Mona Passage it was almost slick calm. Everything went fine until 0700 hrs. the next morning but I'll save that for the next posting in a few days. Having fun in Puerto Rico in Little fishing village called Cobo Rojo.

See ya'll down the road Mike & Karen
