Arrived.....

We safely arrived at Mayaguez, PR at about 8 AM. Got the anchor down and spent half the day clearing customs/immigration. Hanging out and relaxing tonight enjoying frozen Pina Colatas to celebrate crossing the Mona. Going to bed real early, as we are both beat.....

On an unfortunate note, we Blogged about the group of three boats that left Samana yesterday. We spoke with them on the radio, including a boat ("Drifter") which had jointed their group for the passage. We spoke with Drifter briefly yesterday during the crossing discussing which harbor to go to; Boqueron or Mayaguez. They opted for Boqueron, and while approaching Boqueron this morning, Drifter hit an outlying reef and went right up on it. Just as we were anchoring we heard their Mayday. There was nothing we could do but sit and listen, as we were too far away. The boat was hard aground on the reef, and they were afraid it would break up as the swells were pounding it into the reef. The Coast Guard (something we haven't heard in months) was coordinating the rescue, and hopeful salvage of the boat. To come so far and run your boat onto a reef is very sad. We will hear the details tomorrow, hopefully they were able to save their boat.
