TEGUCIGALPA -- Thirteen Cuban migrants are in Honduras after spending two weeks at sea in a homemade boat.

Immigration officials say the 11 men and two women arrived in Puerto Cortes on Honduras' Atlantic coast, one of Central America's principal ports. They left Cuba on Sept. 25 and arrived Saturday.

At least 175 Cubans have arrived in Honduras under similar circumstances this year. Authorities often extend 15- or 30-day humanitarian visas to the immigrants.

Many wind up continuing their illegal journey, hiring smugglers to take them to the United States. Cuba and Honduras broke off relations in 1962, but re-established diplomatic ties in 2001.
