Welcome to Communism, don't take dollars, don't take credit cards, really bad internet, but really good cigars!

One of many roadside "call outs" to the Comrades

Hotel Nacional, thanks to the mafia for providing this palace in the 1930's

Actually a great place to stay, lovely rooms, plenty of Cuba Libres and great cigar shop.  However, the service can be more than a little slow....

Leaving port in SW Cuba

3hr ride to the islands and flats we fished

Tropical Perfection

Our floating accommadations, really quite good.

Don't really want to fall overboard.  This Crocodile lived under the floating hotel.

These guys are French, which explains this insane activity.

Nice small Tarpon with my guide Donalito

This is a Yellowtail but not a Tuna

Most fun on the trip, catching Barracuda.  Amazing powerful strikes and vicious runs.

Typical water between the islands.

Sunrise on the morning run to fishing.

Red Snapper, these we kept for the dinner table.

So "Adios" Habana!
