We were the first "Yacht" to go into Santiago de Cuba after the revolution. We had a medical emergency and had to go in no matter what. You don't mess around with a heart attack. They saved his life but we spent two weeks locked up on the dock under house arrest. Santiego was a commercial port and "Yachts were not allowed. We made friends with the Port Captain and were eventually let off the dock. The boats had to stay but the crews had the run of the island. What fun. The Bay of Pigs, El Morro Castle, Rough Rider Hill and hotel Americano!
