Turks and Caicos and Arrival in Dominican Republic

We have a 102 mile trip to the east side of the Caicos Banks.  We had wanted to spend some time in the Turks and Caicos, but there is developing weather which is going to last for quite a while and we had to change our plans to get to the Dominican Republic as soon as possible in a protected bay.  We departed South West Point on Mayaguana at 9:30 pm on May 19th with winds 11-15 knots and waves 2-4 feet.  This was a good sail and we entered the Caicos Banks at 7:00 am.  We continued our journey across the Caicos Banks for the remaining 55 miles, but now the wind was not in a good direction and we had to motor sail for over 10 hours to arrive at Six Hill Cay before sunset.  We rested up and spent the night here to prepare for our next overnight sail to the Dominican Republic.  We pulled anchor at 10:00 am and headed out into the Atlantic Ocean for our sail to Luperon in the Dominican Republic.  The wind was just about in the perfect direction with 14-18 knots and gusts to 23 and waves 4-5 feet.  We passed over ocean depths more than 16,000 feet deep!  We never had to tack and sailed a perfect rum line to Luperon arriving at 7:30 am the next day for a 21.5 hour sail.  These long passages are very exhausting for us since our autopilot no longer works – a new autopilot is on the list.  The sunrise was beautiful as we entered Luperon, Dominican Republic.
