This show for Cubans and visitors is part of the set of activities
designed by the CNIHC, in commemoration of the two decades of his
institution that will be marked this upcoming May 21.

Canoe and kayak events at 500 meters, staged at the La Coronela dam in
the province of Artemisa, 'and captains' meetings were prologue of the
celebrations, which honored the star rowers who will be attending 2012
London Olympics .

The tournament will have as scenery what US writer Ernest Hemingway, Gulf
Stream, described as "... that Big Blue River, from three quarters of mile
to one mile deep, and from 60 to 80 miles wide.”


The CNIHC, founded in 1992, currently has more 2 000 partners in over 50
countries including Canada, USA, Spain, Germany, France, UK and Denmark.

Among its main objectives is to promote unity and solidarity among water
sports, sports, recreational and social events lovers and non-profit
competitions of a friendly character.
