Not a problem. I'm in Australia and have the entire South Pacific to
play in.

And, you guys can go to Cuba no problem...

Not any more, they can't. Unless they somehow avoid all U.S.
controlled
waters.
That's getting harder to do.

The USCG is now stopping foreign registered vessels transiting their
water to Cuba?
Ya gotta be kidding me!


Not kidding. And there are Island Nations who allow the U.S. to treat
their
waters as if they were U.S. waters as well.

Hey, I can undrstand being looked at, and maybe stopped and inspected,
but restricting access to Cuba is another story.



Get used to it. If you are stopped, and it is determined that your boat
is
merely capable of reaching Cuba, you are subject to incarceration and
seizing of
your boat. Oh, yeah... You don't ever get the boat or it's contents back,
if you
are wondering.

What!?
Foreign vessels transiting to Cuba?

No way! Surely!


Get used to it.

Not a problem. We simply won't bother visiting the USA by boat.


That won't keep you safe at this point. There are huge stretches of ocean that
you think are international waters that the US no longer recognizes as such.
Stay in Canada or risk seizure and prison. I'm not kidding at all.
