We went by Jamaica to meet the Greenwood-Perey family. Then we stopped in Cuba en route to Florida.

We entered Jamaica at Port Antonio. We stopped in Ochos Rio. In a corner of Discovery Bay the Kaiser Bauxite terminal. The anchorage off the village public beach. Rose Cottage on the hill

Inside Rose Cottage that Greg and Christine had rented. We took the Greenwood-Perey family for a sail. Brigitte and Vivianne slept on board. Brigitte having breakfast.

Greg and the children on the beach. Viviane and Brigitte find a dog at a beautiful litle cove. Outside the cove the sea is a little rough. The water taxi from the beach to E. galois.

We entered Cuba at Cayo Largo, the sea had been too rough to stop in the Cayman Brac. We were allowed to stop in Cuba, but the treasury did not allow us to spend dollars. It was easy to abide by the rule, nothing could be bought in Cayo Largo!! On Cayo Largo there was a tourist resort for foreigners.

A beautiful anchorage on the South Coast of Isla de la Juventad. Many migrating birds landed on E. Galois as we sailed the South Coast of Cuba. This one looked very tired. He was too tired to fly any more. We hoped that we could land him, but he died before we anchored The anchorage off Maria La Gorda, a tourist resort for scuba divers.

Fisherman getting ready to set their net. The net is set and ready to be brought in. At almost every anchorage Cuban fishermen came and offered us lobster or fish in exchange for anything. We gave them clothes and even an old folding bicycle!!
