Being raised on the sugar sands of the Gulf, the rocky beaches of Cuba were a shock to me. Getting in and out of the water required shoes. But the water was worth it. (I'm sure nothing has changed there in the last 35 or so years)

Too long ago for me to actually remember. But looking at the map, Cable seems likely. There were cinder block picnic areas where we had ship's parties. But the real rocky beach is the one at the end of the runway. A half dozen of us flew out at 1400, but the ship had to get underway at 0600 for SS&A drills. So we bought a few cases of 3.2 beer and hung in the surf until time to leave. It might not have been open to swimming, but none of the aircrews ratted us out.

Do you like the local Speyside whisky?

I'm not much of a drinker especially not scotch whisky, i can only taste fire with it (blasphemy I know) lol, I'd take a Jack Daniels or a Makers mark on special occasions though or even a good brandy.
My brothers wedding was the last I had a drink 12 years ago.

That’s why I like Speyside; it’s unpeated or only very lightly so. You get malt and wood notes without that smoky burnt note from the peat, which I also dislike. Glenlivet makes some lovely bottlings. They had one called Nádurra (they still do but each numbered batch is different from the last) of which I am particularly fond. Cask strength of about 55% too.
The Fly Fisherman in me forces me to ask do you use a Spey setup? I've never tried that system but I understand and use the Roll Cast when I need to with conventional gear.

The Osaka Castle looks impressive when you first approach it. But only once you get past the huge walls and into the center of the castle , you will discover the real beauty that this place holds.
Pearl white keep that rises high above, trimmed with gold details, and absolutely breathtaking garden surrounding it.
