Rum $30.27 The world has fallen in love all over again with rum. Now among the world’s top four spirits, rum sales continue to increase steadily. Its popularity notwithstanding, this is the first full-color reference book to detail the history, various production processes, and manifestations of rum. Prolific spirits expert Dave Broom explores the complex and colorful history of rum from its beginnings among slaves in the Caribbean. He probes the intricacies of pure rum by the island or country in which each variety was first made, illuminating the role of microclimate and slightly distinct production techniques in determining style and flavor. After a section examining the multitude of blended and spiced rums on the market, Broom offers the reader detailed instructions on achieving the greatest possible appreciation of the rum-drinking experience. The book also includes a complete A-Z directory of rum distilleries and societies worldwide. Illustrated with specially commissioned art, shot on site in the Caribbean, Rum is the ultimate resource for the professional or armchair connoisseur of any strain of this fascinating product. |

Croatia Yacht Rally 2011 Meandered Toward Its Conclusion In Dubrovnik Last Week With A Race From Korcula To Mljet, A Distance Of Just Twelve Miles.
Croatia Yacht Rally 2011 meandered toward its conclusion in Dubrovnik last week with a race from Korcula to Mljet, a distance of just 12 miles.
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic ', situated on the Dalmatian coast, became a crucial Mediterranean sea power from the thirtheenth century onwards. Though severely ruined by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its pretty Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains. Damaged again in the 1990s by armed conflict, it is now the focus of a major restoration programme co-ordinated by UNESCO.
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic ', on the Dalmatian coast, was an important Mediterranean sea power from the thirtheenth century onwards. Though severely damaged by an earthquake in 1667, Dubrovnik managed to preserve its pretty Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, priories, palaces and fountains.
Dubrovnik was founded in the first part of the 7 th century by a bunch of refugees from Epidaurum, who established their settlement at the island and named it Laus. The Latin name Ragusa (Rausa), in use until the fifteenth century, originated from the rock (Lat. Lausa = rock). Opposite that location, at the foot of Srcic ; Mountain, the Slavs developed their own settlement using the name of Dubrovnik, gleaned from the Croatian word dubrava, which means oak woods. When the channel that separated these two settlements was filled in the 12th century they were united. From the time of its corporation the town was under the protection of the Byzantine Empire ; after the Fourth Crusade the town came under the sovereignty of Venice (1205-1358), and by the Deal of Zadar in 1358 it became part of the Hungarian-Croatian Kingdom, when it was a republican free state that reached its peak in the fifteenth and 16th centuries. An economic crisis in Mediterranean shipping and, more especially, a devastating quake on Apr 1667 that levelled almost all of the public buildings, destroyed the contentment of the Republic. This dynamic quake came as an important point in the city's development.
Dubrovnik is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a late-medieval walled town, with a regular street layout. Among the exceptional medieval, Renaissance and Baroque monuments within the wonderful fortifications and the enormous gates to the town are the City Hall (now the Rector's Palace), dating from the 11th century ; the Franciscan Monastery (finished in the 14th century, but now largely Baroque in appearance) with its imposing church ; the intensive Dominican Monastery ; the cathedral (reconstructed after the 1667 quake) ; the customs house (Sponza), the eclectic appearance of which reveals the fact that it's the work of a few hands over many years ; and several other Baroque churches,eg that of St Blaise (patron saint of the town).
The first World Heritage site consisted only of the defences and the intra-mural town. It was later extended to include the Pile medieval business suburb, a planned development of the fifteenth century, and the Lovrijenac Fortress, located on a cliff, which was probably begun as early as the 11th century, but owes its present appearance to the fifteenth and 16th centuries. Also included were the Lazarets, built in the early 17th century to house potential plague-carriers from abroad, the late 15th-century Kase moles, built to protect the port against south-easterly gales, and the Revelin Fortress, dating from 1449, which was built to command the town moat on its northwards side.
6 yachts finish in the same minute on the water!
The south westerly course and the present 12 knot mistral produced a wind angle of ninety degrees for the first part of the race and five boats ran each other off to the left side of the course while the eventual winner Alan Woodward stuck to the rum line with the other four yachts of the ten matching Beneteau First 45's. The fleet eventually came together as the finish line approached and at the end six of the ten yachts completed in the same minute on the water. The match racing hot shots filled the last five placings.
The post-race dinner at the Scotch cafe in Polace set the scene for a Roman style party, acceptable because Polace boasts the remains of a Roman villa.
The whole of the northwards end of Mljet is a countrywide park and the lay day was spent walking thru the luxurious pine forests that surround Lake Jezero.
The following and last race was set on a course across to Kobas on the mainland but dawn broke on a glassy sea with really little prospect of wind. Around 12 nonetheless , and to everyone's surprise, a twelve knot south easterly filled in around 1pm and the fleet worked across the passage on a flat sea in perfect summer conditions. Once again the fleet split and people who stayed to sea caught the yachts seeking non-existent lifts along the shore. After a run to the finish the yachts again completed in a 'heap'.
The machiavellian Alan Woodward of the Royal Brighton Yacht Club stayed out of the match racing frays between Roger Hickman, Steve Barlow from the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron and David Buckman from the Port Lincoln Yacht Club. Alan ultimately won the day on handicap from Alan Hare, a racing novice who delighted in leading the famous Roger Hickman for a large part of the last race.
The final two nights at the luxurious Dubrovnik Palace Hotel saw a gradual wind down from an excellent rally sailed in perfect conditions.
The 2012 Croatia Yacht Rally will be run by Mariner Boating in the same fourteen days of 2012 and should be enhances by a new event in Croatia to the north of Split in the Kornati Islands. The Croatia Kornati Yacht Rally will be sailed in the 1st 14 days of Sep. Again a matched fleet of yachts will be used, all with battened mains, triple spreader rigs, folding propellers and deep keels. Three double cabins will supply roomy accommodation and a fourth twin cabin will be offering storage for bag.
Details of the 2012 Croatia Yacht Rally are available online and details of the Croatia Kornati Yacht Rally will soon be available, writes tagza.com.
