Joe,

President Bush has recently cracked down even harder
on unauthorized travel to Cuba. Unless one thinks it's
worth paying possible large fines and confiscation of
one's boat it would be wise to avoid travel to Cuba at
this time. Wait until travel restrictions are eased which
should not be too many more years, now.

The safest and best way to sail to Cuba at this time
is as a crew member on a Canadian yacht. Give the
Canadians the money to spend on your food, entertainment,
cigars, gear and anything else you wish to buy. Canadians
are more free than those of us who live in the so-called
'land of the free' ha!

Hey, Mooron here is a great money-making opportunity
for you. But, I don't suppose a boat on the hard for
the winter is going to be making any trips any time soon.

So sad . . .

My next slip neighbors are heading to Cuba next month.

They say you can go 3 way to Cuba.

1 Stop in s. Florida and pick up a non-usa citizen they can buy
everything you need while visiting. Rumor is many hang around s
Florida just to do it. Is this true Neal?

2. Get a permit from the US Govt. They have been trying for several
months and looks like they might not get it in time. What does the USA
see as a ligit reason to visit? They promote special events.

3. Approch from the South, Destroy all reciepts as soon as you get
them, keep a log of all the food ate while visiting and prove you took
it with you. Hope no one catches you..

How do you go Neal?

They plan on staying a couple of months then heading south to the
Islands, then Spain, ect..... Gonna cruise the rest of thier lives.
