Across the Mona Passage to the Dominican Republic

Puerto Bahia Marina

It took 22 hours to get across the Mona Passage.   We left Boqueron and arrived in Puerto Bahia Marina.  We were in Samana Bay for a few hours waiting for the sun to come up.  When we could finally go into the marina I was so happy to be there I took a picture of the clear water with the rocks beside our boat at the fuel dock.   Our passage was mostly good.

Mostly good.  Something got our boat in the night.  The only thing that cleaned it up was good ole Clorox.

Our boat on the right, looking out from the Marina complex.  It is a really nice place with a few pools.  I was most happy.   We met some great people while there.

The road to the marina complex from town.   We had a great walk down the hill.  Such a beautiful country.

The market in town.   We got some vegetables.  

This is the view from our moto-concho which was our ride back from town.   We had quite a ride!

Ocean World

Another passage and we arrived at Ocean World.  

The view of the mountain from the pool

The pool

These crazy little fishes

Another view from the pool

The break water surrounding the marina

I was swimming with the dolphins!!!

Just had to put this pic in.  It is the entrance to the casino.   When we were here 2 years ago with Ross and Diana, we thought they were carrots till we got up close!  so silly

The entrance.   We came in here at 2 am.  Notice the reefs on the side.  ohhhh

Kite sufers in the ocean.   No thank you.

We had a good time at Ocean World while waiting for the weather.   We went out to dinner twice and that was such a treat.

Sunrise leaving the DR.  So glad to be moving on.
