I am enjoying this Cuba thread and learning a lot. I did not know about the chain in the marina, the dual price system, customs regulations, Gulf Stream conditions, etc. I hope those of you with pictures of your trips will upload them to Photopoint or someplace to share with us. And if a six year old could make it across the Florida Straights in an inner tube, I bet Ralph Diaz could make it in a Folboat! -Bob Matter Hammond, IN P.S. If I put a Cuban flag sticker on the bow of my kayak, would that be breaking some kind of rule about sailing under a fraudulent flag or something? I bought one in Key West but decided not to apply it in case the USCG didn't have a sense of humor. I didn't want to spend my prescious time in the Keys being interrogated as a Cuban spy or illegal immigrant. Then I was going to stick it on my car until someone told me that a Puerto Rican street gang would likely shoot me on sight if I did. So, I still have my Cuban flag sticker somewhere. I do have two Conch Republic flag stickers that I am going to appy to both my kayak and car though! *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
