The occupants of the boat were most likely intercepted and the boat was left adrift. (la voz de galicia)
The boat was discovered by Gordon Fillis out walking with their dogs on Cliffoney Beach, Ireland.

They noted that the boat “was very homemade and improvised, had a car engine and water bottles to keep it afloat.”

It turned out to be a boat from Cuba, washed ashore after a failed attempt to get to the United States.
