The Mona Passage can be a very hard sail and getting to Puerto Rico or visa versa an ordeal. Fortunately we had a very good crossing. We sailed with Loafers Glory and Sandy Annie as a group. We made the crossing in 30 hours. It can take as long as 60 hours or longer. Samana was OK and is a cruise ship stop. The Port Authority and Commandant of the Navy were very nice and check-out for our dispachio for PR was a total cost of $20 US. The bay has very good holding but you have to lock up your outboard and put your dink on board every night because theft is prevalent.
