We are in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico arriving at 1 pm today (Saturday 4/21). We left Luperon, Dominican Republic on Thursday, 4/19, at 6 pm and had a safe passage down the northern DR coast and then across the Mona Passage. Winds were light but the Mona had choppy seas from all directions which it is famous for. Our auto pilot broke so we had to hand steer for the 43 hrs yuck.
We plan on spending abut 1-2 weeks transiting the southern PR coast to the Spanish Virgin Islands then US and British VI. We will probably proceed down island quickly as weather permits. We have reservations for a haulout in Trinidad for June 15 and will leave Island Time on the hard for Hurricane season and on until after the new year when we will return to cruise the windward and leeward islands for the winter of 2008. We will return Island Time back to the US during the winter of 2009.
We will fly back to Vt around June 17.
