SYNOPSIS
It’s a long passage through the Straits of Florida up to Bermuda, but we’ll get plenty of time to prepare as we enjoy colorful Havana ashore. Once we complete the safety briefings and clear out of Cuba, it’s nonstop, 1,200 miles to Bermuda!
The skipper and mate will be staying with FALKEN while in Cuba. Crew can stay in Havana before the passage if they wish (on their own initiative). In 2016 we rented an Airbnb (casa particular) for a few days.
