I was shocked a little, as we were sure there wouldn’t be any problems… We can come back to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jamaica</st1:place></st1:country-region> but first we have to get a stamp from a different country in our passports. I reminded myself the situation from Curaçao, where because of the same reasons – we used to make one day trips by plane to <st1:place w:st="on">Aruba</st1:place> for a stamp, coffee & back. Quick but not cheap. Well, we do not want to say farewell to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Jamaica</st1:place></st1:country-region>, nor to spend a lot for flying tickets, so we’ll sail wherever and make everything to come back here to finish what we’ve started.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPgRuTxAy6YRgTl4RcIZsuG4WGV383R2SzwHMy0c2nKEcEMRwuxTVy3ckPO13GrPKqKqAtpzRj1rTpHTFsfNuaXjcLfsaRmZNoD25qUycRjO36BbUkmqhLXL2_Hd1MgMxpoHF/s1600/wschod+Jamajka.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPgRuTxAy6YRgTl4RcIZsuG4WGV383R2SzwHMy0c2nKEcEMRwuxTVy3ckPO13GrPKqKqAtpzRj1rTpHTFsfNuaXjcLfsaRmZNoD25qUycRjO36BbUkmqhLXL2_Hd1MgMxpoHF/s400/wschod+Jamajka.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

The best would be to get to Ile a Vache – an idyllic island near <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region>, but the epidemic of cholera is still there so we would need a special expensive vaccination…</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So that must be <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Cuba</st1:country-region></st1:place>!!!! Well… We were not so happy to discover the costs of entering the island as well as anchor fees etc. Everything what is to for tourists costs 24-25 times more then for local people… </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What’s more, in the same moment we faced our engine problems… Luckily the leak in exhaust and the issue with temperature gauge were quickly resolved with the help of friends and Mikolaj’s great mechanical skills. But… meantime the weather changed, so again Captain had to appear in front of Jamaican officials to hear that nobody would kick us out in such rough conditions! So we are ready to leave any time, looking forward to the wind shift…</span></span></div>ATW Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01914876303135137696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31515966.post-1398054295186847842011-03-20T23:12:00.000-07:002011-03-24T08:17:37.913-07:0020 March 2011<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is the end of silence, we are sorry for not updating English version for so long!

It took him 6 years and three boats - called Zjawa I, II and III - to finish the journey. He became Polish hero and symbol of freedom then. Unfortunately II World War stopped Wagner from returning to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region>. For following</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> over 50 years of communism in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Poland</st1:place></st1:country-region>, the government consequently kept the memory of this great man and his escapade out of the “official” history. After the war, Wagner lived in the Caribbean for many years and passed away in 1992 in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

Roads were so packed that in the end we decided to go by walk – as all 3 women had high hill shoes we choose to go barefoot. People were recognizing Queen every few second so she was making stops for a photo frequently. Unbelievable, but Queen never showed any slightest sign of impatience, while waiting for a flash or waiting for problems with cameras to be solved ;)</span><br />

The second was in the most rural end of Eastern Jamaica – Morant Bay, where we were in the beginning of our stay on that lovely island. We were driven here by Tony Rebel again… In between all other things, we respect him for the skills and wisdom on the road - thank you Tony for so safe taking care about us and Jah Bless u & Queen always, especially on the road!</span><br />

We went there to celebrate his 66 birthday, but not only! - we had a special mission… Besides a tent and a stove there were an electric guitar and a little amplifier packed in our bag packs! The mission was to exchange them for… a real Jamaican drum! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">By the way, do you remember where we have that equipment from? Yes, <a href="http://hopandjaunt.com/">Hop&Jaunt</a>!

Then Tony Rebel himself goes out on the stage – and in the same time we realize that Mikolaj’s blue PASS does not allow him to join other photographers to take pics from below the stage… !?! With every note of the music our sadness and frustration are growing… And from the stage you can hear more and more sweet music…</span> Toots and the Maytals (!!!), Tarrus Riley, David Brooks aka Mavado, Queen Ifrica… </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Telling the truth, it was just before the sunrise when my health condition got a little bit better (Inga and <st1:place w:st="on">Pilatus</st1:place>, thank you again for newest medicine parcel!) but we gave up as till that moment had no interviews and there was no sense to be worried more..

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It started for us in a very special way – we were celebrating it with amazing <a href="http://www.myspace.com/queenifrica">Queen Ifrica</a> on her concert downtown Kingston, Jamaica…</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigxmCWRbZpYF82efnRWzG3Yr6PP7REjadd-vufcYURuanBN2aKPZAQbDdlXbd0n-lEZJAIOSgtGweboPw4TsECmI8A0Fb_XkWYESOOmzx76JzAMMoNjAbzH5BatMlpDwPzB6Us/s1600/queen+ifrica_1.01.2011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigxmCWRbZpYF82efnRWzG3Yr6PP7REjadd-vufcYURuanBN2aKPZAQbDdlXbd0n-lEZJAIOSgtGweboPw4TsECmI8A0Fb_XkWYESOOmzx76JzAMMoNjAbzH5BatMlpDwPzB6Us/s400/queen+ifrica_1.01.2011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Maybe it’s still enough time for you to come for upcoming special concert – the annual feast of Tony Rebel & his Flames Productions - <a href="http://www.rebelsaluteproductions.com/">Rebel Salute 2011</a>? It’s still more then a week to get here till 15 January, so have a look on your schedule! :)</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So amazing things are happening for us at the moment that sometimes it’s difficult to believe – luckily we are documenting most of it so we’ll share it sooner or later with you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Yes, we’ve moved finally out of Spanish Waters in Curaçao! Have a look first, how it was when we took our YouYou out of water in that short slideshow:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8x1xQIBH2ik?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8x1xQIBH2ik?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">And this is a quick impression of our following trip to Bonaire (with quests onboard!) where we met the only reggae band on the island – Rasta Ora. Here you have a video to see how it all went and how great was their music…</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXVhtwVsrAM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kXVhtwVsrAM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In contrast to Bonaire, of course on Jamaica there are loads of reggae! We are constantly listening to it – if not on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/queenifrica">Queen Ifrica</a> shows, then just played ashore or on the radio, which is the best radio we’ve ever met in our travels!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Another day YouYou is anchoring in Port Royal with an impressive view on Kingston and another day our computers are getting really hot!
