The article was almost three years ago, I'll see if I can find a copy of it. They seized his boat and auctioned it off, he was fined $10 K and sentenced to ten years probation. I'll do my best to find it. Touchy subject down here, if Castro doesn't get you the locals will make sure you have a bad hair day for giving money to a despot. It's really not a joke, the govt. and the local political groups will have their pound of flesh. Under no circumstances would I go or give one thin dime to his regime. I'd give anything to see the pristine cruising grounds, but the price is too high at the moment, both dollar wise and morally.
