Colombia to Cuba on the Steel Rat (Stahlratte)
Moby | 22/4/2008One week spent on a 40m classic 1900′s sailing ship, cruising the waters of the Caribbean from Colombia to Cuba sounded pretty damn good to me! Being a classic ship, I assumed it wouldn´t have a swimming pool. So I brought one along.
most of the passengers were puking the first few days, the ship getting rocked around quite a bit in the first night due to a storm, even ripped 4 of the sails.
I gave up fishing after 4 days of nothing.
But then the fun started. We anchored and went swimming, snorkeling and rope swings off the mast…

Unfortunately I popped my eardrum doing said rope swing. Maybe no more attempted back flips for me.
We finally managed to catch some Tuna, Dorado and Spanish Mackerel. Tasty. All in all a groovy week aboard the Steel Rat.
