| Farewell Cuba - Cayo Largo |
Welcome Back
Thursday 9th March was our last morning in Cayo
Largo Cuba. We had to move SHAMAL from
our anchorage and take her into the marina to complete checkout
procedures. I go to raise the anchor
with the foot control button, but nothing happens, it has stopped working
!! Thank goodness Alec is able to do it
from the helm. Another job to add to the
work sheet !!! First we had to go
ashore and hand in paperwork to the Guarda Frontera. Then it was back to SHAMAL to wait for the
visit from more officials along with an over exuberant sniffer dog. On our hike back down the dock we run into a
New Zealand couple, from the Marlborough Sounds, who are crew on an American
boat. They have just arrived back in
Cuba after a visit to Grand Cayman Island.
Their intention was to continue on down to Panama, but having not
visited as much of Cuba as they would have liked to, they have returned. We still have a little of the local currency
left so head to the restaurant for a coffee to be told sorry, the machine does
not work. We settle for a cold lemon
drink.
