Canal de los Barcos, Cuba to San Pedro, Belize

Katharine Smith

15 to 24 knot winds ranging on broad reach, beam, and close reach. Averaged 7.2 knots sailing the entire way. Waves up to 9 feet but probably averaged 5 feet. Lobster fishermen sold us 18 lobsters for $60 and cooked us a lobster feast. Also had snapper and barracuda. Bartered rum, gasoline, and beer. Got to know Cat IMPI while anchored in Cuba.
