Cuba Libre anyone?

Hey guys just recently finished a two month trip throught the bahmas on our 37' Beneteau. We went as south as Long Island and as north as Walkers. The trip was incredible! We lived off the ocean and were diving and kiteboarding every single day!

I have sailed from Puerto Rico through the SVI to BVI and back and this put ideas in my head for the next trip. This next summer I wanted to hit Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, SVI, BVI, and Turks and Caicos from Florida. We were contemplating hitting Cuba on the way as our first stop but do not know if this is possible!? I know you can fly to Cuba as an American so long as it isn't direct. It would be a party getting shot down as a U.S. vessel in Cuban waters... Is there any way we could make it happen? Even writing letters to the government asking permission to enter waters for anykind of reason?

Any input would be much appreciated!
Warm winds,
Alex
