Yesterday afternoon, while I was enjoying a holiday lunch with two of my dear friends from New York\/New Jersey, Bob got word from the State Department \u00a0(specifically someone in the OFAC office–Office of Foreign Assets Control) that we have been approved to visit Cuba this winter.<\/p>\n

I am now officially excited and scared to death. \u00a0There is a 350 mile ocean crossing from Turks and Caicos to the first landfall just west of Guantanamo, Cuba. \u00a0I know that’s only 1\/5th of what our sailing friends do when they sail to the BVI, but it’s more than this landlubber is ready to tackle….<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, here is a little Christmas cheer from the Delamar<\/a> in Southport, Connecticut. Whatever you’re celebrating this month, I hope it’s wonderful….<\/p>\n

Postscript: \u00a0I may have spoken too soon. \u00a0Bob and I have been approved to visit Cuba, but our boat has not! \u00a0And we need permission to sail on our boat as much as we need permission for ourselves. \u00a0Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
