“Lost Souls or Lingering Secrets? Coast Guard Discovers Mysterious Life Signs on Abandoned Island!”
The Coast Guard Had Never Seen Anything Like This
The Miami Coast Guard collectively agreed that this story was unusual. Ltd. Dougherty said, “I cannot recall a time that we saved people who were stranded for over a month on an island. That is a new one for me.”
For one, getting stranded on an island is incredibly rare. Second, the chances of surviving for a month are doubly rare. The Coast Guard members who participated in this rescue had experienced a once-in-a-lifetime event.
Why Were The Three Cubans Sailing Anyway?
Many people wondered why the trio was sailing in the first place. During an interview with Sun Sentinel, Officer Murray admitted that is unclear where they were going. They might have been sailing to the U.S. or somewhere else entirely.
It is also possible that they were sailing to fish or explore and got lost at sea. However, the Coast Guard did not need to know the details. They were only concerned about saving these peoples’ lives.
But Who Were The Survivors?
The three survivors have never been publicly identified, nor have close-up photos been released. This is likely for their privacy. Living on an island for 33 days is a traumatic experience, and they already had enough attention on them with all the news coverage.
If members of the Coast Guard learned their names, then the Coast Guard did not release them. The two men and one woman clearly want to remain anonymous after such a jarring experience.
