This is a warning to all of you that consider going to a marina (Cap Cana Marina) on the east side of the
Dominican Republic. We arrived here two weeks ago on our way to
Puerto Rico. We were planning on staying only a few days max and when we were ready to leave we weren’t given our despacho papers from the
navy on the grounds of “bad weather”. This has been going on EVERY DAY for the past two weeks. We are stuck paying marina
fees (there is no place to anchor), a 40$ cab ride away from the next supermarket and absolutely no idea when we are allowed to leave. We have friends waiting for us over
Christmas in
Puerto Rico and are very doubtful we will make it.
I just wanted to post this for all you out there that are considering coming here. When we arrived, nobody told us that this could happen.
