After our night in Boqueron, we left the anchorage at 4h30am under a stars lighted sky...the Mona Passage was quite smooth, as the wave action had considerably subsided from the days before (according to our fellow cruisers who had very disturbed seas) and we got to Luperon, as planned, early on Tuesday morning. Unfortunately, there were so many grey skies that we did not have a great view of the island when sailing. Upon arrival, however, we were enchanted by the greenery the hills and the vistas of the large island. The anchorage is not as packed as anticipated and the Luperon people are very kind and warm. So far so good...trips to Puerto Plata, and Santo domingo are planned for the next week. Heiner is fixing the dinghy...its tow years are over and it is slowy loosing strength!!!
