Ramon Saul Sanchez said his organization also plans to charter a cruise ship and sail it Dec. 20 to a point 12 miles off the coast of Havana, within international waters. There, singer Willy Chirino would do a concert while a laser show is aimed at the capital. Christmas messages would be broadcast by radio to Havana, along with a call for island Cubans to stage a nationwide labor stoppage, Sanchez said.
A go-no-go decision on the cruise will depend on the number of Miamians willing to make the trip and will be made in mid-October, he added.
