Not to be outdone by their European compatriots who often attempt to cross the English channel in a dinghy, the Cubans aim for Florida by truck. Their floating vessel consisted of a green truck buoyed by 55 gallon drums on either side, and its rear axel had been modified to turn a propellor. Unfortunately for its creators, the U.S. Coast Guard caught them before they could gain entry. Oh well, they can always apply for a place on the UK’s Scrap Heap Challenge TV program instead 🙂
