Among the Multihulls, Chapter Twenty-One, Video illustrations with Commentary

Chapter 21 – Harbinger Island

SCRIMSHAW’s voyage to Cuba. An account of two months spent in Castro’s regime contrasted with the author’s previous brief experience as a young man under Batista. Despite much international travel this is the author’s first exposure to people living in constant fear of their own government. Complete political failure on both sides of the Straights of Florida. Story of encounter with U.S. Coast Guard in the Yucatan Channel. Arrival in Mexico where at least the people are free and one can get something good to eat.

OutRig Publisher Note: The video below is the final one for “Among the Multihulls.” And while there are no video illustrations for the Epilog chapter in the book, Jim Brown’s summary abstract for the epilog reads as follows …

Epilog

Denouement sees Cuba as “a harbinger of – indeed a microcosm of – what’s in store for humankind,” and describes the social networking revolution as “the coming consciousphere.” Brings the reader current with multihull developments as of 2011, and explains the author’s concluding world view as informed by the incidents in all the chapters for both volumes.
