Re: So You Want to go to Cuba,   
 
Part 2,
<p>
Just sneaking to Cuba....
<p>
  
:-0

<p> 
It was a dark and stormy night, 
<p>  out of the shadows a sinister figure whispers 
<p>"just sneak across and sneak back--- nobody'll 
know ----how would they keep track?? they don't have 
the resources to track US citzens going to havana to 
have a beer" 
<p>
I do not think you should listen to the sinister 
figure; 
<p>
Eyes on cuba watching recreational yachts visiting? 
well, no, (maybe), not _specifically_ to watch 
yachts(maybe)----> 
<p>
but you might want to consider your crossing a war 
zone !!! 
<p>
War zone??? 
<p>
its called a war on drugs.... 
<p>
the tethered areostats based on Cudjoe Key have a 
200 mile range radar, 
tracking low flying aircraft and vessels is their 
forte !

no, not _specifically_ to watch yachts 
but to interdict smugglers from Cuba? YOU BET ! 
<p>
( I believe they are
mostly concerned with human cargo...) 
<p>  
they don't call it a security zone for nothing! 
<p>

 
 The USCG does not have the resources to run around 
harassing every recreational vessel they find on the 
high seas, but as a recreational boateryou should 
realize, if you travel through one of those hot 
spots (crossing a war zone-- the war on drugs) 
you are more likely to be checked than in a less hot 
zone, no need to feel picked on unjustly, 
 <p>
Just because you do not get stopped does not mean 
you have not been tracked: 
<p>
Vessels are routinely  tracked and identified.
 
Remember that plane that flew over in the night? 
 
It may remember

JUNE.html">  you !</a>
 <p>

Sailboats ARE rountinly stopped, now and then 
random boardings get results--<p>
Read about the S/V  Felicity
5 germans and an Indian, claiming vessel to be 
German registered,  (lot of good that did !--- but 
had FL #'s on hull that were assigned to a different 
vessel ?? )
