Day 1 noon-to-noon run was about 168nm. We sailed along the north coast of Puerto Rico all day and then crossed the Mona Passage, the waters between PR and the Dominican Republic. All a mellow sail, except for some of the night lightning along the coast. We ended up about 50 miles off the NE coast of the Dominican Republic where the ocean depths are near 25,000 feet. At this point we decided to change our course and sail over the top of the Turks and Caicos islands instead of the original plan of going under them. This should give a bit better wind angle and a little shorter passage, and hopefully less lightning. The nights are dark with only a little moon showing up before dawn. Not a lot of wildlife out here.
