Thanks for all the input here - I think the Cuba overfly is going to be the way and we'll prob just join Carribbean Flying Adventures - sounds like they have a good handle on this stuff.
Apart from getting a life raft and vests, what about carrying flares and a flare gun? Is there a certain type that is approved?
Dont want to get into trouble with the authorities for carrying something we shouldn't - also what about personal locators - does the "Find me Spot" system work outside the US? Anyone have suggestions on what other options are available (this aircraft does not have a 406MHz ELT).
Also any other equipment we should think about apart from blankets, food, first aid kit etc? I have spare spark plugs, bulbs and a few other come in handy parts on board. Sorry to be such a greenhorn - this will be a first for me so I want to cover all the bases....
