What to do - What to do?

We had plans to meet our friends at a resort in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) during the first week of March.
Try as we may we couldn't find much information regarding marina options in the Punta Cana area. As well we dreaded the idea of crossing the Mona passage only to turn around and cross it again to return (east) south. That thought alone took all the pleasure out of our vacation plans.
While in Grenada we thankfully agonized over our dilemma to Sharon and Gary on Elusive. Sharon suggested we leave the boat somewhere convenient that wouldn't cause us too much easting to return south and fly in to meet our friends in the D.R. Thank you Sharon, that's just what we did.
We left Sea Star in the lagoon (Ensenada Honda) in the Spanish Virgin Island of Culebra off Puerto Rico's east coast and flew out of San Juan (Puerto Rico) to the Dominican Republic.
