Discovering Brothels, Bordellos and Burdels
Some years ago I spent a couple of winters in Sicily, living on my boat in the dock at Marina de Ragusa. It’s a wonderful Island with great wine and pizzas to die for. Just up the road is the old city of Ragusa which is a World Heritage Site. There’s plenty of other history too with amazing Roman ruins, at Agrigento for example. Then there’s an active volcano, Mt. Etna if you fancy visiting a boiling crater.

The Art of Revolution
My introduction to Cuban art was a surprise. The first mate and I were in Havana on a flying three-day visit to Havana having left our boat — our home — in Cayo Largo on Cuba’s south coast. We’d arrived there from Grenada via Bonaire and Jamaica, sailing west then north across the Caribbean Sea, 1300 nautical miles. Even in the air terminal art was everywhere to be seen, and during our month there the art turned up in the most unexpected places.
