While en route from Tampa to Roatan, Honduras, a Carnival cruise ship helped rescue 27 Cuban nationals who were lost at sea and signaling for help on Sunday afternoon.

The bridge team onboard Carnival Paradise spotted the vessel that the Cubans were in and turned the ship around to rescue them. They were taken aboard, given food, and attended to the medical team.

The U.S. Coast Guard Sector Key West and Roatan officials were notified of the rescue.

Carnival Paradise is scheduled to arrive in Honduras on Monday.

Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
