TheSailingChannel is providing $3.00 from each sale of this video to the Sarasota Yacht Club Charitable Foundation. The SYCCF is sponsoring the historic Sarasota to Havana Regatta. Originally scheduled for May 16, 2010, it was postponed to Spring 2011, the again until Spring 2012 because the race committee has been unable to obtain necessary U.S. government permissions prior to its February deadline. TheSailingChannel will continue to set aside money from each sale of our Cuba Video through a future start date, whenever that may be. Click here for our Press Release.

CRUISING CUBA'S SOUTHERN COAST In Spring 2011, Wally Moran will once again sail to the most mysterious, beautiful, and untouched cruising grounds in the Caribbean. TheSailingChannel plans on taking you along as Wally explores Cuba’s southern coast.
Cuba
Forbidding...Forbidden
As a bill ending travel restrictions on U.S. citizens visiting Cuba wends its way through Congress, it's likely that this forbidden Caribbean isle maybe the next great destination for U.S. cruising sailors.
Wally Moran is a Canadian citizen sailing a Canadian-flagged vessel. TSC DOES NOT recommend that U.S.-flagged vessels voyage to Cuba until the U.S. government has formally lifted current restrictions.
Wally Moran, a Canadian sailing writer and professional charter skipper, has cruised to Cuba and speaks about his experiences at boat shows and sailing seminars. Read his article, Cuba: The Next Cruising Ground? in the Sail Magazine. Wally also writes for Waterway Guides and is an expert on cruising the ICW. In this special video for TheSailingChannel, Wally gives us an expanded version of his Cuba presentation.
"Varadero and Santa Marta were my first taste of large, urban civilization since I'd arrived in Cuba. There are good restaurants, pubs, artists' markets, a sense of history, friendly people eager to meet you..."
Wally opens by describing his "CubaHamas" route that takes you from Florida, across to the Bahamas, and down to Cuba on easy day sails. He goes on to cover ...
provisioning money
medical issues firearms navigation clearing in paperwork trading with the locals marina facilities and repairs

and more...
Throughout, Wally adds his personal stories to give you a sense of what it is really like to cruise to Cuba, interact with government officials and the local population.
