[Paddlewise] Paddling with the Enemy

I'm currently reading Tom Miller's book "Trading with the Enemy - A Yankee
travels through Castro's Cuba"; a well written and fairly informative read
chronicling the author's attempt, and eventual success, at being granted
pretty much unhindered access to travel and journalistic endeavors during
his six month residence in Cuba.

Reading this book has really stimulated my interest in traveling to Cuba,
which of course must be done in a roundabout manner for the U.S., usually
through the Caribbean or Europe.  From what I've read, paddling around and
through the country would be a blast and fairly affordable to boot, assuming
there aren't too many bureaucrats in the way.  The rest of the world doesn't
restrict travel to Cuba and so there is a tourist trade there and probably
outdoor outfitters as well.  And there's always foldables.

Anybody on the list have any experience with this?

Jeff
