What is the current official government position concerning cruising in Cuba? I would love to go but I would also like to be able to come back to the US without the prospect of losing my boat or going to jail.

I had always understood that it was OK to go to Cuba, but not OK to spend any money while there....?

See the “Overview of the Cuban Assets Control Regulations” or Title 31 Part 515 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations
