As a further boost to the growing tourist industry in Cuba, managers of recreational boating reiterated the relevance of the 20 years of the Hemingway club, which is the main nautical club in the country. The celebration program included yacht races off the Havana coast, from the Almendares River to the Morro Castle, on April 27.
