Two boats filled with humanitarian supplies travelling from Mexico to Cuba have been located days after contact with them was lost in the Caribbean, organisers say.
The boats were located by the Mexican Navy and the crews are safe, a spokesman for the Nuestra America Convoy said.
He did not explain why the two boats - the Friendship and Tiger Moth - had disappeared.
They are among several vessels that have sought to carry supplies to the island nation since the US imposed an oil blockade in January, prompting a chronic fuel shortage.
The Mexican Navy has not commented on how it located the boats, which departed Isla Mujeres, in Mexico’s easternmost state of Quintana Roo, on 20 March, and had been due to arrive at their destination on Monday or Tuesday.
Bermuda Triangle shit. That’s why they won’t say what really happened. /s
LOL. I went to sea camp in the Florida Keys, when I was a kid. It’s like Summer Camp but it all revolves around water activities. We were coming back from diving on the reef. It’s pretty tiring to spend all day out there so pretty much everyone was sleeping as we headed in. The counselor who was driving the boat, noticing that I was the only one awake, called me over to the console and pointed at the compass. I kid you not, the thing was spinning around. I looked at her and asked. “Are we going to disappear now?”
And we were never seen again.
Nice that you can still access the Lemmy API regardless. I didn’t know they had WiFi in the Bermuda hellscape.
