Hemingway's Pilar kit

Grex, I kinda like the positions second photo. Capt Gregorio at the helm speaking with Mary in the cabin while Hemingway is up top scanning the sea. But think about Hemingway facing the other way: standing at the flybridge helm looking ahead, observing for signs of big game.
 
Hey Grex and Herb, thanks for the advice on locating the holes for the flybridge steering and controls. I’m gonna make a template and try to get it right. Wish me luck.
 
Years ago when I was in Cuba ( my ex wife is Cuban with family there) and her stepsister took us around Havana to the bar where Hemingway hung out. Can’t remember the name though. Nice little place, cozy. I remember there is a stairway leading up to the second floor. Drank some mojitos and they were good!
