Well, we sailed an overnight from Varadero to Marina Hemingway. Nothing eventful happened, which is a good thing. Lots of traffic though.

When we arrived at Marina Hemingway, we had the opportunity to go aboard a "tall masted" boat from Germany. It has been updated with all of the technologies but not with the "facilities."

The boat is equipped with a proper kitchen and proper heads but the berths are still based on the original boat. This is a great way for students to learn not only about sailing, but also a neat way to learn their school lessons. One day they will do their school lessons and the next day they will learn their sailing lessons.

I was fortunate to get invited on board to see the boat and while they have a lot of the new technology, they still sail the old fashioned way (although they now have a motor on board).

Cheers,
Paul
