Thank you Captn Jim for the Poll Question.

i went in spring 2001 before W put a stop to it and would do it again in a heartbeat. The people are friendly and the only safty issue is with the goverment when you return (ours).

Absolutely! I have been to Cuba 10 times in the last 13 yrs. When compared to other Latin American countries, it is far safer, (no guns, no drugs), the people are universally friendly, and facilities and food is cheap. The municipal water is safe in virtually every city, and Cuba has more doctors and teachers per capita than the US. The down side is that the country does not have the infrastructure to accomodate large numbers of cruising sailors, the exceptions being, Varadaro, Cienfuegos, and Hemingway Marina just outside of Havana. All that being said, it is still better being an American in Cuba than a Cuban---- however, that can be said of almost all of Latin America. Government red tape can be vexing, I suspect they took lessos from the TSA!

yes

I would go if it were legal or I had a permit... No otherwise. I did not contaminate the poll as I did not know if mine was as a yes or no answer. I would not need a guide.

Hell, yes. I grew up in Venezuela, and have always wanted to go. Have several friends that have gone and loved it.
