Sailing Cuba

[ragzamoto]

Hi , I was wondering about sailing with a dog to cuba..... Thats Dog as in Canine not boat. Anyway I am not interested in the political pros and cons I have sailed there before but its been 20 plus years, at that time it was still very nice and we were welcomed everywhere we went. That said government areas were off limits. I was wondering if any one could give me some info on bringing my dog along and any use full info on obtaining paper charts .

You can get the Cuban Hydrographica government charts from Canada or elsewhere other than the USA. But I don't think anybody but non-USA cruisers are going to comment upon their cruising to and about Cuba.

Thanks I have a friend in Halifax I will get in touch with him . No my fellow citisens I think have been brow beaten by homeland security enough that there are few that will venture out .... just the way they want it!

Here is a reference to a CF thread of Cuba and a post by a Canadian who keeps his boat there. See: #20
