Want To Buy: Cuba paper charts

[Pacifique]

Hello everybody, we are planning to sail from florida to cuba in february 2019.
Does anyone know where I can get paper charts? Used ones would be fine too.
Thanks a lot

British Admiralty charts from Cruising guides, Navigational Charts and other supplies - Bluewater Books & Charts

Avoid US charts of Cuba. I got them from the government source and they were 17 years out of date.

We found NV charts reliable along the NW coast. Where are you planning to go in Cuba? From Havana to Cabo San Antonio, the most hazardous bit by far would be entering the narrow cut into marina Hemmingway at night or with a fresh N breeze.

If cruising the coast enroute to MX, I would advise stationing in Hemmingway and seeing the island via land rather than expecting to see much later on via sea. There are some good cays to stop at down the line, but we were turned away from all points on the mainland by guarda Frontera (Jan 2018).

Thank you very much for your response.

Pacifique is right now anchoring in Lake Worth in North Palm Beach Florida.
Our plans are sailing to Marina Hemmingway and to Havanna. (I have seen a ankersymbol on the electronic seamap? Allowed? (The elekronic seamap is nice to look, but I don´t trust the electronic very much. I prefer the old fashion way)
Than we want to sail around cuba along the westside, SW and SE.
We got 2-3 month time.

Do you think there will be a problem that pacifique is sailing unter US flag and all the members of the crew holding an european citizenship (Austria, Switzerland, France)

Thank you a lot
