I found this a rather disappointing book. The author is clearly deeply interested in Hemingway, and it is more a book about Hemingway than a book about either Cuba or sailing. Sailing is limited to a trip down the ICW, a crossing to Havana, then Havana back to Florida. No gunkholing or exploring of Cuba by boat. Exploration of Cuba is limited to Havana and Hemingway's farm.I was hoping for a more in-depth exploration of Cuba as a whole, and more sailing than just to Marina Hemingway and back.There is useful information sprinkled here and there about politics, potential trade goods, and social life, but mostly this is a book about Hemingway's life.
