You’re a kid. But right now you are also a Cuban fisherman who has set sail from Havana, on a direct course to Sarasota Bay to fish before the hurricane season starts and likely robs you of your cargo. It’s a delicate task. Bring too little salt and your fish spoils before you even begin a return trip. Pick the wrong course, and you’ll miss the opportunity to trade with the Seminoles and the free blacks that took up by the Manatee River.
