We draw 3ft and used the Nigel Calder Cuba guide to go through passages and find anchorages. In Cuba every anchorage you stop at you have to check in with the Guarda Frontera, who will typically row out to your boat.

See our blog postings of Cuba for highlights of the Cayos and things we did in Cuba.
