As of February 26, 2004, when Bush signed Proclamation 7757, supposedly
if you have charts of Cuba on your boat, the government can seize said
boat because possession of those charts is evidence of the fact that you
either visited or intend to visit Cuba in violation of these rules. You
then have to prove you didn't go there to get it back. Is this
outrageous or what?

Do we remeber back in the days when we hated the Soviets for all the
horrible things they did? Like invading innocent countries, trying to
shove their government down everyone's throat, taking away their own
citizen's rights, etc....

Hopefully Tuesday will bring a change.

Surely this is not legal if i am a non US citizen on a non US boat they
have no right to limit where i go and who i see and i have no intention
of going any where near Cuba any way but common sense tells me to carry
a chart or two for safety.
I just read this article

Sheesh and i thought Russia was bad
