One of the things I loved about visiting Cuba last year were the old American cars. Many were in excellent condition inside and out. I never saw any of these aquatic cars, but I wish I had! Apparently these unique creations were being used to sneak into the United states!
I’ve been back from Cuba for a couple weeks now and I have had time to think back on the trip and reflect. I’d like to say it was a fishing trip, but it was actually a late honeymoon.

We’ll be heading south to Varadero at the beginning of November, and I’ll be tacking my fishing rod.

I’m sure I’ll be able to find some barracuda at the very least, but what I’d really like to catch is another tarpon!

In his email he described the process and techniques used to handcraft these beautiful rods, which I found very interesting, and once completed he takes his rod fishing for the first time. Adam is never one to leave us hanging, [...]
