As it is now, many cruising sailboats visit Cuba. Many from the USA. I
spoke to a sailor from Florida who would go to Cuba quite often.
He got work done on his boat, had a good working relationship with the
Cuban shipyard, boatyard. He paid in US Dollars.


Then he violated federal law.


Exactly. Only large corporations are allowed to spend US Dollars in Cuba.

Of course. Anyone else risks losing their boat and a visit to the big
house.

Hopefully this nonsense will change.
