<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Can anybody cite a single case in the last 10 years where somebody has actually been prosecuted under this law for going to Cuba as an "illegal tourist"?</font>
Yes, I know someone who was prosecuted. I also know several folks who sail to Cuba, have a letter from Hemingway Marina saying they are being fully hosted, and upon return have basically had their boats torn apart by US officials. At the same time, I know many more people who've gone and never had a problem.
