OZELLO - A Florida couple who says they wound up in a Cuban jail after
their boat was badly damaged in a storm is back home.
Robert Vassallo on Friday said he and his girlfriend, Angellette Smith,
flew into Miami New Year's Eve.
The couple says they had been sailing around the Caribbean when they
encountered rough waves, and their boat washed ashore and sustained damages.
Vassallo says Smith didn't have her passport and neither of them had
visas, so they had to wait for U.S. authorities to secure their release.
They say they were released on Dec. 26 and finally flew to Florida
earlier this week.
The U.S. State Department could not immediately verify the couple's journey.
