He's got firsthand knowledge, and probably some anecdotal figures on those that DON'T make it all the way.
Yep I do, some are hilarious some are not so much.
Funny - we spoted a yola doing circles, there rudder got stuck to one side and they couldnt kill the engine.
Sad - The mother that had no family in Cuba, her kids and husband were in Miami waiting for her, we intercepted her and she was scared for her life.
Fudged - The Captain that yelled at me for talking with the "enemy"
I have very serious thoughts on this entire Cuban embargo and how we handle it, but they are very personal and will not talk openly about it. I just do my job and save lives before the sea gets a hold of them.
