Now this is Revolutionary

Granma Mural in Cuba

Feb 7, 2023

Our Photo of the Week comes from AJ Twist in Montreal who was getting away from the off-season in Cuba when he saw this wall mural of the Granma, the decrepit boat that brought Fidel, Ché and the others to begin the revolution. It’s the stuff of legend in Cuba!

 

“The boat is on a street corner of an area in Havana known as Fusterville for the ceramic artist whose amazing work covers a couple of blocks in the area.”

If you were not able to charter and are heading to Cuba for a brief respite, be sure to check this mural out.

The Photo of the Week roams the waterfront, looking for great shots, especially yours. Send your photos from home or abroad, from your marina or vacation. Your call as long as it’s boats, boating people, pets, signs. You name it.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
