Five boats departed from the Bayside Marketplace Marina in Miami on Friday - heading toward Key West for inspection before heading down near Cuban waters. Escorted by the US Coast Guard, the crews expect to navigate as close to Cuba as possible within international waters to show support for the ongoing protests on the island.
Pictured boat captains: Rey, Osdalvis, and Alain.
