Cuba

We made it to Cuba on the ninth of march with my father in tow . I was really glad he was with me. About half way in the middle of the Gulf Stream the engine decided to go for a crap. Actually It was just the water pump belt and there wasn't any wind at the time so the frieghters that were bearing down on us had to go around us. Other than the lightning storm we were in it was very uneventful trip. It took us about twenty two hours to cross over be cause of the lack of wind. And then when we arrived in Marina Hemmingway my father had a wonderful experience with the waiting out the long process of clearing into the country. The doctor comes on board and then immigration ,after that the guarda frontara, the drug dogs {springer spanials that can't get past the ham sandwich} then after a small gift to almost everyone of them we get to go to our slip. The next day Gilbert arrived by plane and life as I knew it is not the same. Dad spent one week with us and then we took him to the airport to go home to the snow he missed so much. Ha Ha Ha better him than me. by the way I'm doing this on the computer at the Canadian Embassy . They have a bbq every second friday. Food was okay but Gil's still waiting for the strippers. The weather has been great. We have been getting the boat ready. Our plans have changed a little we are not going to the caymans. Instead we are heading west to Mexico, then down to Belize. Hopefully we will log in there . Sorry I don't have any pictures, we did't know about the computer here at the Embassy. Gilbert met the Ambassador and asked to change jobs.I promise pictures next time. Bonvoage Kathy and Gil.
