What is Uncle Ron's Academy?



Uncle Ron’s Academy is a happy dynamically fluid crew who gather in various sized groups, committees, gatherings, celebrations enjoying visits with or just hanging around Uncle Ron.

Who is Uncle Ron? Uncle Ron is a "spirit". However, the Academy should say that it was a "aha" sort or moment when we realized that the "Ron" in Ron Carioca or Ron Zacapa Centenario was not a primero nombre but Rum! So when we gather it’s more of a family adventure valuing all those great things like life, love, learning. It is more than a night out on the town... So, we are Uncle Ron’s Academy....

This blog spot will feature all sorts of things like rum, music, feasts, literature, dancing, links to other rum sites, events, adventurers and one of the great causes we support: Los Primos Project

RUM RUNNING


CBC TV's Land and Sea is going to air a documentary on Rum Running  In the 1920's and 30's - many sailors in Nova Scotia did the unthinkable - they stopped fishing and became international smugglers.


They took liquor into the United States during Prohibition.This episode tells the dramatic story of Rum Running.

By the way the pic above is of the I'm Alone which I think will be discussed in the Documentary.. however what they don't know is that it's the main sail from the I'm Alone that is part of Uncle Ron's Logo...
