Not to mention perseverance since these were the same two guys that tried to drive a modifiied Chevy pickup to Florida, as well!

Technically they wouldn't be illegal immigrants since:

1) They never made it and
2) If they HAD made it, they would have been granted asylum

:)

Castro's probably thanking them for clearing out the junk from his island.

Makes me all the more grateful to live in a country where I don't need to take desperate measures to flee living conditions. I wish they had made it.

Wow, they should definitely let those people in, without a doubt. That's good stuff.

They Chevy pickup was RUNNING. They had attached the steering to a rudder and a propellor to the drive shaft, and made the thing water tight.

It's pretty amazing!

Lucky for them, Cuba is full of old American steel just waiting to be converted to boats. They'll make it one of these days, if Fidel doesn't kill them first.

It was said best the first time this happened: "They should have been picked up and given and engineering scholarship for pulling that off." Those are the kind of immigrants you WANT in a country.
