Twenty-six Cuban migrants arrived about 1:30 a.m. Monday near the Rickenbacker Causeway in Key Biscayne.

Miami police initially responded, and the Border Patrol then got involved.

The group of migrants -- 10 men, 10 women and six children -- ran toward toll booth workers after arriving on shore and requested help.

Authorities did not find a boat.

The group of migrants was later taken to an immigration processing center in Broward County. They have since been released.

This is the third time in three weeks that Cuban migrants reached shore near the Rickenbacker Causeway.


:devil:

Well, with the North Cold Front winds dying down and Hurricane Season not yet at it's peak, it's Rafter Season.

Rafter Season ???    

I never looked at it that way but..............you're RIGHT on target.

I think this is disgraceful. Why don't they use the ferry, like we have to?
If everyone acted like these migrants, then Fantasia ferries would soon be out of business.

Bob, Bob, Bob, would you subject poor Cubans to ride on Fantasia Ferry when you HAVE TO PAY FOR SNACKS? They only offer food in VIP.

You are a meanie....!

Mercy,
Surely they could take a ready meal from McFidels and save on the on-board catering.

By the way, what is the average sailing time and cost of this journey into the unknown?

Kind regards,

Bob.

I haven't asked Pepin for the price list since money is really no object for me. I only travel VIP anyway...

Pepin is a real stickler for bringing your own food on his Ferry. He's a Capistalist and INSISTS on food for the journey being purchased only on the Ferry. Something to do with him representing some Bean Owners and they provide the beans for free.

I heard 85 were intercepted by The Coast Guard, yesterday and probably sent back ????????
