Question about sailing to Cuba

[anotherT34C]

Ah, shoot... last I heard (which was a while ago, I admit) US citizens were allowed to sail to Cuba as long as they didn't spend $$. I guess things are different now?

I guess I can no longer sail to Cuba and tell the (really nice) cuban people how great it is to live in a free country?... interpret that in the most respectful manner you wish.

Soft Air, I agree with KN and i2f. Just like you don't want people judging you by whatever stereotypes they may have, please don't judge all of us by the one or two insensitive people earlier in the thread. That's not an admonition, but a plea.

And now back to the regularly scheduled thread.

If I were you (a non-US citizen with a non-US boat) I'd return from Cuba to a non-US location. Then, and this is important, when you next visit the US, make sure you don't have any Cuban products on board. Just to be on the safe side, I'd travel to Cuba from a non-US location as well.

You don't want to come into the US with the last stamp on your passport to be from Cuba and you don't want to be importing anything from Cuba.

As happens so often when discussions turn political, the real discussion (Cruising) gets thrown off track, and hard feelings develop. The Moderation Team asks (again!) that you read (or re-read) the Forum's community rules, especially this one:

Thank you.
