You are probably right. I know I myself wouldn't take chances these days
considering the large effort in place to track and control yachts in and
around Cuba. The stakes are simply too large and the deck is stacked. If
you encounter a military vessel with large guns pointing at you, you obey
first and "take actions" later. Too bad that this much effort is
essentially wasted on a trivial point, when there are so many other issues
unaddressed.

Good luck and good sailing.
