On Cuba people with a car are required to pick up hitchhikers, so it's probably the easiest country on earth to hitchhike. There are yellow police officers who stop cars and oblige the driver to give a lift to the people waiting on the street. However it s common to pay the driver.

Hitchhiking a boat out of Cuba

You can search at the Marina Hemingway (Tel: 204 5088 from La Habana) in Jamanitas, La Habana. You can get there by taking the P1 Bus to Playa and change there to a Bus to Santa Fe (420). The round trip should cost not mre then 0.80 Moneda Nacional. There are boats leaving to Florida, Mexico and other Caribbean Islands. High Season is from December to March/April but there are always some boats. Ask around at the Port office, these people know who is in the marina and who is planing to leave.

Note: The Emigration requires you to go with your captain 72 hours before departure to the Imigration office to enroll you on the list of passengers. If you can t make it 72 hours before departure a little tip might do the trick as well.
