The Nuestra America Convoy said that the sailboats were led by ‘experienced sailors’ with access to safety equipment.
Mexico’s Navy and the United States Coast Guard have signalled that the search is ongoing for two missing sailboats that were part of a humanitarian convoy to Cuba this week.
Nine people were on board the two vessels, which departed from Isla Mujeres in Mexico on March 20. They were initially expected to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
The sailboats were part of an expedition organised by the Nuesta America Convoy, which has accused the US government of “strangling” Cuba by “cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival”.
Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel was among those voicing anxiety on Friday about the fate of the boats.
“We express our particular concern regarding the two Mexican vessels transporting solidarity aid to #Cuba as part of the #ConvoyNuestraAmérica,” he wrote on social media.
