Boat Rally to Baracoa 2003

The St. Augustine-Baracoa Friendship Association is planning a boat
rally to Baracoa, Cuba in March and/or May 2003. Baracoa Cuba is
located on the North East coast of Cuba and is Cuba's oldest city.
Our Association has something similar to a sister city relationship
with Baracoa.

The May rally will likely be held in conjunction with the annual Key
West to Cuba Sailing Race. An earlier rally, so far consisting of two
Monk trawlers, are planning on leaving Key West for Havana during the
first week of March.

After arriving in Havana, participants would secure their boats at
Hemingway Marina and fly to Baracoa for four or seven days of
exploration and friendship building. The St. Augustine-Baracoa
Friendship Association is a non-profit, non-religious, and
non-political organization holding a US Treasury Department License
permitting membership travel to Cuba. You can discover more about the
trip and our group at www.staugustine-baracoa.org (Open the
committees link and look for the rally page.) Each of the groups
sponsored by the Friendship Association will be limited to about a
dozen visitors. If you are interested in joining us, please contact
