This page is dedicated to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of the various Cuban refugees who have attempted to sail to the United States on homemade vessels cleverly crafted from old American cars. Unfortunately, often they have been caught before reaching American soil, and returned to Cuba. Here's to you, floating Cubans! Your cleverness and your persistence inspire me. May you all achieve your goal, and finally reach the land of McDonald's, Disney, and Coca-Cola.

The pick-up truck was sunk by the coast guard dudes once the "passengers" were hauled off

I remember reading about that a few years ago. Sad that they had to resort to such desperate measures ................
I'd love to visit Cuba, the classic cars, buildings, the music, the whole thang

I agree with Paul, a trip to Cuba would be cool

Anyone for a convoy, we leave from Cape Point, at low tide, might take a while, Fleetlines not a good idea for sea passage, therefore bring plenty of silicon
