CROSSING THE CARIBBEAN SEA

We left Blanquilla for Dom Rep at 3 in the
afternoon. The wind and swell predicted was on the limit that Christelle was
happy with and luckily it was accurate.
We made good the first day and then the
dreaded rain squalls started and did not stop for 2 and half days! Every rain
cloud coming our way we had to reef, then shake reef out again. The result is
little sleep and nerves was fraying a bit…We passed the south end of the
infamous Mona Passage that looked peaceful enough until a huge cloud bank
freaked Christelle out. The last night the wind dropped (as predicted) and we
motored the last miles to arrive after 3 ¾ days at Casa de Campo at 10h00 on 11
February 2012.
