Everything Fine!
 
Have checked in to Santiago de Cuba after a long process involving visits to the boat by the Health Inspector, Immigration, Customs (with Sniffer Dog) and Port Authority. Although slow and requiring lots of forms, the job was done by pleasant and chatty officials who seemed pleased that we are visiting their country.
 
We have a few maintenance jobs to do on the boat today and then we will head into town to find a bank to get some Tourist and Local currency.
 
We will be staying here for a few days before heading west. So there will be no updates until we depart.
 
Best Wishes,
