Returning to the marina we still have longer to wait for the winds to die down. All of us were trying to kick a cold so we rested for a bit. Our Sirius radio worked well which gave us music and news we had missed. Our local taxi driver took us in his 56 Ford to Guadalavaca (which means "hide the cow") where we exchanged money and used the WiFi. We would also spend time in Holguin and on the road to Holguin where we could get fresh fruit like papaya, bananas, oranges and limes, and vegetables.

The morning we left the Harbormaster filled out his forms, gave us copies, checked our passports, and the dog was brought in to make his rounds. Only about 10 minutes and we were on our way. The seas had calmed and we had a good sail back although this time we motor sailed all the way. It felt good to be back in the Bahamas. Cuba is so foreign and communications had been difficult at times.
