The time has come for Crimson Kathryn to leave Cuba and head back to her land home in Florida. We have had an interesting time in Cuba and have enjoyed learning about the people and history of this country. The best part of Cuba is definitely the people. They are very kind and happy to help you.
Our overnight trip to La Habana (Havana to us English speaking folks) was wonderful. It is a beautiful city with lots of history and stories. We visited modern Havana with more current architecture. The Cubans are very proud of the fact that they own and operate all these hotels that used to be run by American mafia. We also spent a morning exploring old Havana – that was very interesting. Lots of wonderful old building and cobble stone roads. To top off the trip, we spent our 30th anniversary evening at the Tropicana Club. It’s an open air Las Vegas style show. It was really good – great costumes, dancing and singing. They also gave our table a bottle of rum with a small bottle of coke each – too much rum!!
Today, Thursday July 13, we sail across to Marathon, Florida. We’re leaving around 4 pm and it should take us about 18 hours to cross. We’ll visit Marathon and the Keys for a few days and then head for Port Charlotte on the west coast. Crimson Kathryn will be hauled out and stored here until we return next summer.
