97 Miles South-Key West to Cuba

High sea adventure unfolds when a crew of resourceful American anglers cross the Straits of Florida to Cuba, giant Blue Marlin the prize. Tournament fishing in the Gulf Stream is not without hazards, as is navigating thru the socialist society of the western hemisphere’s only communist government. Spies, informants, a powerful secret police colonel combine to assure the visiting Americans spend their dollars without spreading the taboo dogmas of capitalism, democracy and most threatening of all free speech.
Classic cars, centuries old cities and breathtaking mountain vistas, off limits to U.S. citizens, masks the struggle the average Cuban faces to feed his family. Morality battles necessity for a people living on the most fertile of all Caribbean lands where a three meal day is rare, the black market, a risky requirement.
Pete’s pursuit of love proves more perilous than monster fish. Tempting prison, even death, Pete tests an angry ocean, defies El Guardia- the keepers of border security and revolutionary purity- and the United States Coast Guard in a rescue dash for his gorgeous island love. Leaving all she knows behind, Christina risks life itself in the night time run alongside the American she wants, to the freedom she seeks.
