Travelling to the Dominican Republic

We left Sea Star laying on 2 anchors in the lagoon (Ensenada Honda) Culebra with our dinghy outboard motor on board, the wind generator and anchor light on and the key in the ignition.
We rowed our dinghy to shore, chained it to the town dock and put a stern anchor out to keep it from going under the dock with the changing tides.
We caught the 6:30 a.m. ferry to Fajardo, Puerto Rico where we met our (pre-arranged) taxi driver who drove us to the San Juan airport (40 miles). Since we had lots of time he kindly threw in a tour of Isla Verde, which looked very much like Miami's stretch of hotels.
After a 50 minute flight from San Juan we arrived in Punta Cana (D.R.) and caught a cab to the hotel.
The total journey took us 11 hours.
