In this Sunday, May 24, 2015 photo provided by the Florida Keys News Bureau, Abel Garcia, left, portraying Cuban President Raul Castro, and Buck McQuire, right, dressed as Fidel Castro, carry their Schooner Wharf Minimal Regatta entry to the water in Key West, Fla. The rules of the wacky Memorial Day Weekend event required each team to build a boat out of a single sheet of 4-by-8-foot plywood, two 8-foot-long two-by-fours, a roll of duct tape, a pound of fasteners and epoxy paint. The duo's "First Ferry to Cuba" entry was an offbeat salute to the recent easing of restrictions for Americans traveling to Cuba. (Rob O'Neal/Florida Keys News Bureau via AP)
