I've flown over Cuba a couple of times. It is a very beautiful island. And
all that warm, blue sea.


And those harbors! With no marina's!


I would love to sail to Havana. And I'm sure I'm not alone.


From what I've read, there have been boaters going to Cuba for years,
although it is illegal.


Soon it will be legal!


Viva la Cuba .. !!!


What a trip... down the coast, stop at some keys,, a little Key West and
then


Set the sails... we are heading to Havana!


They have Marinas. It is only illegal for US citizens to go there.


I had the opportunity to sail there last year for a scientific
conference but after I talked to someone who had, I realized that
almost all the money I spent would go into Castros pocket and be used
to further oppress his people. If your conscience allows you to
support a police state with your money,ok, but mine wont allow it.
