For the first time since we have been living on Mabul, we leave her alone in the marina in Cienfuegos and make our way overland to Havana.

We also take a tour of the surrounding area and get another deep insight into Cuba’s history, culture and society.

We spend four days in Santiago, immerse ourselves in Cuban (night) life and take our friend Christoph on board, who will accompany us for the next few weeks.

Barbuda is the little sister island of Antigua and could not be more different. The beach paradise, at first glance pristine and barely built up, gradually turned out to be the new playground of the super rich. With them came excavators, fences, and lots of “Private Property” signs….
