That was true quite a while back. It is no longer true. The US can
sieze a boat permanently if they merely suspect it might be capable
and/or planning to go to Cuba. There is no "due process" involved.
They can just stop you and take your boat at their discretion from any
place in US waters. You don't even have to be anywhere near Cuba, or
pointed in that direction.

I'm beginning to think that maybe Castro asked W to ban Americans from
visiting Cuba in order to keep his island from turning into another USVI.
