We started the day with a conversation with the Cayman Island
Coastgaurd. They were keen for us to stop in as they wanted to see the
100 year old ship. It was midnight and north was our bearing so the
night watchmen motored on through. The sun rose and braught with it
decent wind. After breakfast we went from Motor-sailing to just good
old sailing! The wind pulled us along for a few hours until we entered
the 'Cuban Wind Shadow'. We started a party on the topdeck and slowly
plodded along towards Cuba. Right before sunrise Fiete decided it was
time to bring the sails down. Still enough light for a swim, we dove
headfirst into the 3 kilometer deep ocean before 'Madame' started
thumping us north again. We sit down now for a nice 'Italiano Spag
Bog'! Tomorrow 'Cuba', a new journey begins for some of us, music and
culture await for all.....lets hope they let us in....Mark!!
