British Mystery Man Arrested Sailing to Cuba – Loose Cannon

When all else fails, try journalism.
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Maple, a bouy tender whose homeport is Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, made the interception. This is a weird one. The Coast Guard pulled a U.K. citizen named Miles Connors off a sailboat 40 miles south of Florida, brought him back to the U.S. and then charged him with being in the country illegally.
According to the federal criminal complaint against Connors, investigators found that Connors had been in the country illegally before sailing aboard Stormy Weather with two other people, bound for Cuba.
The two other people were identified only as S.V. and A.A. in court documents. Stormy Weather is a Florida registered boat owned by S.V., a Canadian who had entered the U.S. in July “on a valid non-immigrant B2 visa.” A.A. was captain of the vessel, described as a Russian-born U.S. citizen.
Connors, according to the complaint, “had several previous interactions with U.S. Immigration authorities,” beginning in 2006. His first deportation happened in 2008 at a port of entry in northern New York. The complaint picks up the narrative:
Subsequent to his first removal Connors was unlawfully found in the United States again, having entered at an unknown time and date. Connors was apprehended in the United States for driving without a license. His order of removal was reinstated, and he was ultimately removed on a flight from New York to the United Kingdom. His second removal occurred on June 29, 2010.
Connors was removed with the name “Myles Anthony O’Connor.” That name was listed on his previous passport, but his current passport reflects the name Miles Anthony Connors. Biometric checks revealed that Connors has gone by several variations of the same name. These records also revealed that Connors has an outstanding warrant in Pennsylvania from January of 2025.
The encounter with the Coast Guard happened at 11 a.m. on August 20 about 40 miles south of Marathon, Florida, the boat’s departure point. The Coast Guard was able to terminate the voyage and seize the vessel—at least temporarily—because it was determined that it did not have a Coast Guard permit to enter Cuba or Cuban territorial waters.
All three people were taken aboard the Cutter Maple, which proceeded to tow Stormy Weather back to Marathon. The boat’s Florida registry—a U.S. vessel—gives the Coast Guard jurisdiction over her anywhere in the world, even though the owner is Canadian.
(This should provide an example to those readers who continue to insist, contrary to all public information on the issue, that Americans can legally travel by boat to Cuba. Coast Guard form 3300 “permit to enter Cuban territorial waters” may exist, but Coast Guard officers have been instructed not to approve any 3300 application, as doing so would be contrary to U.S. foreign policy. You can’t get a permit, and going without a permit is unlawful, as the crew of Stormy Weather has learned.)
So, according to court documents, Connors had left but was brought back to face charges that he had been in the U.S. illegally before he left. Connors faces up to two years in prison for illegal reentry into the U.S. The documents don’t say what penalties, if any, S.V. and A.A. may face. They were given Miranda warnings while being interviewed.
If you know these people, please share their names so we can get some more answers.
