Budding boat designer rescued at sea

A Cuban man was rescued at sea after 25 days adrift and is being held on a Coast Guard boat while the government decides whether to return him to Cuba or bring him to shore for medical treatment.
If they allow him on American soil, the government's policy is to allow him the option of applying for a green card after a year's stay.
His boat was constructed mainly of large Styrofoam blocks with a wooden frame and what appears to be oarlocks.
The contrasts and similarities between Cuban and Mexican conditions and immigrants is a story in itself.
There are very few Cuban "Coyotes" and not many people outside of Florida lobbying for Cuban immigrants.
Of course the Cubans don't have to worry about drug gangs as much (the government is a bigger problem).

Hugo's U-Boat?

A mystery periscope was spotted off Florida's coast.
The Navy has not yet commented on the sighting.
I'm thinking conspiracy theory here because Hugo was to buy some Kilo class Russian subs and we had an oil well blow up.
Let's start a rumor!
