kchesneylover Posted July 9, 2006 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2006 This happened as well when we were on the Valor last October and we asked and were told it was a weekly occurence. The Cubans go into the shipping lanes to get picked up - thinking they will have asylum (which they don't). They are almost ALWAYS repatrioted back to Cuba. Wet Foot/Dry Foot. It is very sad they have to live under that dictatorship to risk their lives on an extremely risky and dangerous trip that is all for naught.
