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

No, it is not. It is however illegal to spend dollars in Cuba under
regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US
Treasury. Individuals have been dancing around these regulations in
many ways for many years.

Now don't confuse all those folks with the facts. It's a lot easier
to play the victim if you can say those evil benighted gummint
people won't let you go there than it is to say they won't let you
spend money there.

Let us know all about your trips to Cuba and how you managed to eat,
find lodging, and get around without spending any money, Dave.

I'm not sure if you're responding to me or to Dave. In any case, you can
read about _my_ 1996 trip and my experiences with the Cuban economy on my
web pages. A truly remarkable trip, and please let me know what you think.

Kindest regards,
