Cuban migrant lost while windsurfing found adrift
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KEY WEST, Fla. -- A Cuban migrant who disappeared while trying to
windsurf across the Florida Straits has been found adrift on his board.
Coast Guard officials say a recreational boater found the man Thursday
about 10 miles south of Big Pine Key. Ensign Peter Bermont tells The Key
West Citizen (http://bit.ly/1bsPnP4 ) that the man was dehydrated and
exhausted but otherwise uninjured.
Bermont says U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is investigating
and will determine whether the man will be taken back to Cuba.
The man was one of three migrants who left Jibacoa, Cuba, on Tuesday.
One made it to Key West more than nine hours later and told authorities
that he lost sight of the others about 60 miles south of Key West.
The third migrant remains missing.
