A central Florida mayor still intends to go through with his plan to
return home from a visit to Cuba alone in a makeshift raft.

DeBary Mayor Clint Johnson tweeted on Saturday "Ocean test run complete!
... #Cuba next!" after spending Friday night out in the Atlantic Ocean.
A GPS tracking website says he started at a Ponce Inlet ramp, went
around the jetty and about 12 miles north to Daytona Beach Shores.

Johnson also tweeted out: "Educational, enlightening, and an awesome
experience. #Cuba next!"

Johnson said he plans to cross the Florida Straits in a couple weeks
without a motor because he wants to understand what Cuban migrants
experience. Many, including the U.S. Coast Guard, have urged him to
reconsider.
