Mona Island is a small island in the
middle of the motor passage between
Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic
the weather has to be almost perfect for
you to stop here because there's really
no protection from the weather we were
super lucky to have the perfect weather
window on our project from Puerto Rico
to the Dominican Republic so we took
advantage of Stassi and Mona forty
nights and we're really glad we did
any hydrant in about 20 feet of water
just off the beach on the western side
is high
[Music]
even in the perfect weather that we had
Anchorage was rolling because this is
where the Atlantic Ocean means it's
Libyan sea but the setting could it be
any more than correct
you
[Music]
[Music]
as we were pulling into the mona island
we noticed some camp set up so we took a
gang right around the corner to see what
that was all about
we were greeted by some local hunters
from Puerto Rico that came in by both
because his hunting season on Mona
Island they had pants set up and they
were eating and drinking and just having
a great time why are you coming over a
rabbit hunter having it is very imagine
this is awesome
they even had a pit set up where they
roasted a pig the night before
and then we got a private tour of the
island by one of the hunters who has
been coming here for 35 years
written the boys found a unum all that
was on the island who knows what this
was used for what little electric sir is
on the island is produced by these solar
panels and since this island is part of
the United States the museum has to be
handicap accessible there was coconut
trees everywhere so that meant time for
some coconut
[Music]
[Music]
tell me your coconut lovely the hunters
had a machete so it made opening the
coconuts a lot easier
[Music]
[Music]
they also have rum and that made the
coconut taste a lot better
Oh party yes let's get inside
you get to taste it
mm-hmm
while Krista and I were getting Bacardi
in our coconut the boys are getting
something a little bit stronger what is
this we don't wanna eat well oh okay and
then they wanted us to try something
else
the hunters hospitality was amazing we
had speak much Spanish and they didn't
speak much English but boy did we have a
good time
he shared their beers with us and rich
live even given a bottle of the homemade
hooch to take back on the boat with him
and by the way all these things come
washed up on the shore and these come
from the Dominican Republic so if you've
lost your dinghy in the Dominican
Republic it may be here on the beach one
of the hunters told us about all the
lobsters our on the reef so we had to go
take a look Kristen are drinking beer
good thing I didn't get anything out for
dinner
[Music]
even Tyler and Cole got a lobster
[Music]
needless to say we had enough Lobster
for a couple of days if you have a
weather window and a chance to stop a
Mona Island on your way past I really
suggest you do so the place is so unique
and so untouched there was no place else
like it in the Eastern Caribbean
[Music]
