You'll find that rules re use of boats is quite different here than most places. I traveled to the DR from the US on a cruising sailboat, spending time in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos enroute. I've crossed the Mona numerous times and have cruised the eastern Caribbean, spending time on nearly all the islands and close to a year in both Trinidad and Venezuela. Strictest of all is the DR, next strictest Venezuela. In the DR you don't just clear in and out of the country, you clear in and out of each and every port. Same procedure to go from Samana to a south coast port as to go from Samana to Puerto Rico.
