Years ago, Tim Rynolds (Team Key West Worrell 1000 sailor) and I talked about organizing this race after Clinton allowed sports and cultural exchange exemptions in the Cuba visa restrictions. The great thing about the Tybee500 and W1000 is that they had a nice sandy beach nearby that would allow anyone to sort themselves out and be relatively self sufficient. No beaches between Key West and Cuba. We thought it might be a good idea to put two motor boats out in the middle somewhere and make it a safety gate.
Again, people cross it on inner tubes, rafts, row boats, if it floats they get on it and cross. Crossing it on a beach cat will be piece of cake compared to how the Cubans cross it.
