Unfortunately absolutely correct -
Americans cannot legally go to Cuba. We have had a couple of invitations to go down to fish for what we are told are huge bonefish. All free of course.
The trick is to go via Canada or Mexico, I'm told neither place will stamp your passport saying you've been to Cuba. If you think I'd even take a chance on that guess again.
There are huge bonefish on Andros Island Bahamas. Legally. Those Americans who chose to break the law to fish in Cuba are obviously above the law. I also don't want anything to do with them. Bad news.
