US Coast Guard rescues fishermen found adrift
Honduran fishermen towed to Cayman Brac
(CNS): Five Honduran nationals on a boat that had run out of gas were brought into Cayman Brac last night by the United States Coast Guard after they were rescued some 25 miles off the coast of the Sister Islands. The local authorities were alerted by the USGC some time after 9:00pm and the men and boat were towed to Scott’s Dock, where they all arrive early Wednesday morning. The RCIPS, customs and immigration are now dealing with the men, who are understood to have been adrift at sea for several days.

God bless our Queen Elizabeth and America only if others missing are found
Why were they fishing Cayman waters?
Don’t be a dope! They obviously ran out of fuel and drifted here. Our waters are baron compared to down south. Our snapper boats actually pillage their waters, and that’s where all the snapper you see in the supermarkets and restaurants comes from.
You obviously don’t have a clue about the currents around here. “Their waters” are to the SOUTHWEST of Grand Cayman. How would they end up near the Brac then? The boat in the picture is NOT a snapper boat either – looks more like a drug boat….
Although the pelagic range of the square grouper is vast, the species distribution concentrates to the west and south of us beyond Serranilla. They must have been right on top of them the whole way.
How many days????? How do you not get the full story.. First question I’d be asking!
Give them food and fuel and send them on their way after the tropical storm passes by.
If that’s the boat it may be more humane to give them a plane ticket.
