Cabo San Antonio TO Havana

[Mollyt]

I will be coming from Isla Mujeres Mx to visit Cuba. I will be checking in at Cabo San Antonio and would really like to continue on to Havana from here. I know this is the undesired direction, but has anyone done it? Are there anchorages along the way sheltered from the winds? I know those North winds can be strong. Thanks for any info you can share

We went the other way last year. Look at your charts there are a few places marked with anchors. We'd plan to over-night along the coast but on second look decided that the reefs where too uncharted. We'd heard that this wasn't really allowed and the Guarda Frontera would come calling. At Hemingway the dock master had said we could tell them we had engine trouble. A couple we met in Mexico had tried it twice and indeed they'd been told to "press on". Also not much of a current when we went (May).
