Mona passage was definitely on our list of trips we were unsure/nervous about but we made it through without any issues 🙌🏼 We were debating between 2 routes, straight offshore then south closer to Puerto Rico or hug the coast of the DR until south of hourglass shoal and cross right above Mona Island, and we decided on the latter. We picked a pretty good weather window (even though it was 15/20kts instead of the forecasted 5kts) and didn’t see any crazy waves until the south coast of Puerto Rico. Had to motor the entire time, but towards the end we put out our head sail when the wind shifted to gain a knot or 2 💨 As always, Isla did a 10/10 job being stuck on a moving boat for 2+ days and don’t worry… she had lots of treats 🤪 Excited to be in Vieques & the Spanish VI to explore for a bit before we head over to the USVI to work and make some money🤙🏼🌴🇵🇷
