Roatanians Back Home After Ordeal

Here’s a link to a story about the six men who were stranded in the Caribbean after their boat, Miss Janice, capsized en route from the Cayman Islands to Roatan on July 17.

They spent the next nine days (yes, you read that correctly) on an inflatable raft before being rescued by an oil tanker. Then that tanker couldn’t get them to Houston for more than week, so they stayed on the ship nearly as long as they were in the water.

Roatan New Times hopes to bring you an exclusive interview with Ted Woods and Michael Garcia, now safely back on the rock after flying home from Houston.

The surnames of the Cayman men clearly illustrate the connection between our islands — two Welcomes and an Ebanks!
