Cuba can be really funny because some people tell you one thing and when you get there it is a different story. We were told the here in Marina Colony on the SW corner of isla de la Juventud, we could officially sign out of the country, How ever upon our arrival the guards told us other wise, the we have to go even more east to Cayo Largo in order to clear out with immigration officials. So it looks like our trip has been extended yet another few more days. Such us life… On the positive side, we met up with the same boat that we cruised to northwestern shores. Skipper Steve and his crew on “Seren”. They also come about the same problem and will be making their way to Cayo Largo, so we might do some more travelling together.
After this it is looking like it will be a minimum of 4 days to sail across the Caribbean Sea to reach Honduras or Guatemala, pretty scary thought if you ask me, but it is what I chose for myself, and I’m sure it will be a very enriching experience.
I have been doing lots of talking to some of the locals in places were we stop, besides the fact that my Spanish has gotten a lot better, I have really enjoyed sharing experience and exchanging ideas with them. It really makes me more grounded when I tell them why I’m doing this journey… good self reminders.
I’ll cut this short for now; I’ll be doing a massive upload of picture once I reach the continent…
