Ok, this is a first... I got sailing spam from Cuba. According to
spamcop.net, it did originate in Cuba. To the US Boating Community On behalf of the Hemingway International Yacht Club of Cuba and on my own allow me to express to you and the US Boating Community my sincerest congratulation on the clean and democratic exercise of the right to vote last week on the United States which showed that fate of countries and the world is in the hands of its citizens. We would really like the new US government to respect the constitutional right of its citizens to freely travel around the world, which would give us the opportunity to resume and continue strenthening the existing fruitful friendship and cooperation with the US boating community. I avail this opportunity to reiterate my congratulations and my hope that the people of the United States would find a way to "restore prosperity". Congratulations, Commodore Escrich -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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  -- Roger Long |

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 |

No, you keep that embargo, it's working *really* well. Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea. |

Since I'm of Canadian registry I selfishly hope they keep the embargo going until I after get down there and see it without all the competition. |

I love it. Fastest way to restore Cuba to the world community would be to eliminate that "embargo" that has never accomplished any of its stated goals. -- Jere Lull Xan-à-Deux -- Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI trips & tips: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |

You haven't gone in 50 years, and now there's a great rush, right? Another potential recruit for the island paradise. You have? Is it really as great as they say? Heck, even they have universal healthcare.... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

The real goals of the embargo was to garner support from ex Cubans in FL who still dream of being restored to their pre-Castro plantations and slaveholdings. |
