A group of seven migrants were spotted in a small “unsafe” sailboat off Islamorada Tuesday by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection air crew. The Customs crew alerted Coast Guard Station Islamorada, which sent a patrol boat to stop the vessel, according to the Coast Guard. Another migrant was stopped off Duck Key, just north of Marathon, by a Coast Guard crew from Station Marathon and a Customs boat crew. That person was riding solo, said Coast Guard spokeswoman Petty Officer Nicole Groll.
