The Ukrainian Navy allegedly trained several dolphins to seek out mines, submarines and even to kill, with weapons attached to their heads. So, next time you see a friendly looking porpoise swimming just offshore, give it a wide berth!

The owner Mari Helena, who both Martin and myself knew in another life about 30 years ago, showed us round. A lovely lady, she gave an extremely informative talk on how the rum is made, and the interesting history of the sugar can business in our area… for example, did you know that all that talk about how good Jamaican rum is?
