I am planning to sail to Cuba next winter, and hope to hear from
sailors who've been there and done that. I am interested in all
practical aspects: legal, navigational, logistics, etc. Four years ago,
when I was preparing my cruise to Labrador and Greenland, I got useful
feedback from several memebers of this group. I hope there are some old
Cuba hands around, too. Logs and pictures of my earlier cruises to the
Bahamas, Bermuda and the Arctic are on my web site.

Thanks!

Should be an overrun cruising ground for U.S. sailors, Geert. But,
that'd ruin it's pristine nature and true character - another BVI.
Maybe a few Canucks can lend you a hand here. Any American
who's cruised there would deny it if they were caught in the act!
I'm sure you'll have a wonderful experience.

I hear they won't let him back in because he ate someone's raw kidney while
there. Oh, and he clubbed some poor kid's little white puppy to death.

US Citizens aren't aren't barred from going to Cuba, but they can't spend
any money there and the hassle is quite great. Nice website, btw.

In case anyone is interested, here are a couple of links that tell you what
you have to do if you're a US Citizen and want to travel there.
