MIAMI — A small group of Cuban Americans launched motorboats from Miami early Friday, planning to approach Cuba in a show of support for people experiencing hardships on the island. Five boats left from Miami’s Bayside marina just before 8 a.m. They stopped in Key West at around 1:30 p.m. before heading into the Florida Straits, said Jose Portieles, who is helping organize the effort. He said they would stay in international waters, some 15 miles off the coast of Havana. “We also want to draw the attention to the United States government that they have to do something,” Portieles said. “We feel identified with what is happening in the protests in Cuba, we could be the ones who are there.”
