Today American sailorscan legally go to Cuba and cruise if they followthe proper procedures. If you have a storyabout such a trip, let us look at it.■ MISCELLANEOUS PHOTOS: Photographsare always enjoyable, whether for their beauty,their humor, or for many other reasons, andwe take them alone. We would like photoswith every story, if possible.■ COVER PHOTOS: SOUTHWINDS is alwayslooking for nice cover shots, which are alwayspaid for. They generally need to be a verticalshot, but we can sometimes crop horizontalphotos for a nice cover picture. They need tobe of a high resolution. If digital, they need tobe taken at a very high resolution (and manysmaller digital cameras are not capable of takinga large, high-resolution photo as is on acover). If a photograph, then we need itscanned at high resolution, or if you send it tous, we can do so.■ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: For those of youwho are not as ambitious to write stories, wealways want to hear from you about yourexperiences and opinions.CONTACTeditor@southwindsmagazine.comfor more information and questions.News & Views for Southern Sailors SOUTHWINDS October 2006 65
