I think I would have been tempted to let them continue on towards the US
due
to their creativeness...

To me the biggest part of the story was what it must be like there to
have folks take to the water in a vehicle like this... I hear they
have been found paddling bathtubs even. These young men probably left
their young families to take a trip that they must have known had
little chance of success, or even survival for that matter.
As far as letting them go further, the Coast Guard did the right thing
in stopping and ending (sinking) the voyage before the mainstream
news, and a bunch of lawyers, and politicians got into the mix... this
thing had potential for far to good video
