... Wow. This is food for thought. The new administration might well change the crazy policy that has been one of the major factors keeping Castro in power. Some friends of mine did an illegal tour of Cuba via the Dominican Republic and just raved about it. They hitch hiked around, people were friendly and eager to talk to them and they got fed so much they hardly spent any money (but gave away what they planned to spend). They never felt any hint or fear of crime as they experienced in nearby islands. If their experience is typical, this could change my feelings that I'm not much interested in sailing south. My boat was designed for that part of the world. All I would have to do is add lightning protection I had a couple of friends get there via Mexico and via sail. They loved it. I know there's a lot of history and well-deserved animosity from Cuban Americans, but if they really want to have change, as you said, we need to engage with the Cuban gov't. I just don't understand why the current admin. is unwilling to talk to our enemies. Reagan talked to Gorbi. Nixon talked to Mao. Heck, even Adams talked to the King George in 1785 I believe. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
