Ernest Hemingway's Cuba logs could be source for deep-sea fish data  

"He was a fisherman," grandson Patrick Hemingway said, looking at the men gathered to greet him. "He considered them his brothers."

Along with a team of US researchers, Hemingway and his brother John were on a five-day mission to leverage their famous name to encourage closer ties between the United States and Cuba and, hopefully, open the way for scientists to gain access to the writer's fishing logs, a long-concealed and potentially valuable source of knowledge about the area's massive predatory game fish.

Unfortunatley Cuba's National Cultural Heritage Council said that marine scientists on a tour with the author's grandsons wouldn't be able to see the authors fishing logs but will work to let researchers see them eventually.
