Close shave before landing in Cuba by L A man
Don Walker of 4170 Country Club Dr and Knox Nernan of 50 La Linia Ave navigated the Sea Walker, a converted 63-foot air sea rescue boat, into Havana Harbor after a 26 000 mile Gulfport to Havana voyage. They faced armed guards and wary officers, Walker noting beards as a revolutionary symbol and the boat's suspicious look. Walker, a former Navy lieutenant, bought the craft after discharge and oversaw its diesel conversion and navigation gear.
