After an eye-opening stay in Cuba, we left our berth in Santiago first thing and spent the day sailing up Cuba’s dry, dramatic coastline. One whale was spotted (sleeping?) on the 10-12am watch! Everyone is settling into a new watch/class rotation. Through the night, we scooted along at about 7 knots with our first chilly night watch in a while. A very bright full moon illuminated the deck making for much less stumbling around in the dark when our eyes were first adjusting😊 Looking forward to this 8-day sail!
