For anyone interested, I’ve spent the last 3 months cruising the
Caribbean on ‘Cat’ with Simon. I’ve done a lot of cruising before and have to say this is by far the best. The mix of the cultural experience in
Cuba, and the cruising,
fishing and snorkelling, has been incredible. Days spent, relaxing on the boat,
diving for lobster and conch, eating incredible fresh
meals, mingling with the locals. It was surprising, coming from
New Zealand, how safe I felt throughout
Cuba. I’ve enjoyed the warmth, sincerity, and passion with how the Cubans go about their lives. I’ve also loved the varied days on this trip - sipping mojitos,
learning salsa and Spanish from the locals, and low key days of reading
books with
beer in hand. It was very difficult leaving, however reality calls. If
work didn't call i would still be there.
