They've been using the small CC's for decades. My dad's CC was stolen in '84. They found it in the Bahamas. Runners were using big go fasts to transport there and stuff smaller loads onto smaller boats (like my dad's 24ft Aquasport CC) to move into Dade / Broward county.

What was the story?
I was out fishing on Wednesday off Jupiter and there was a small CC found circling w no one in it. Just wondering if the stories were linked.

A Bahamian abandoned a 22 ft CC with several hundred pounds of MJ on the beach just south of Lake Worth Inlet. Palm Beach PD picked him up walking down the beach...story didn't check out...holding him on suspicion.
This is getting to be a one a month story in Palm Beach Co as well as Broward.
This guy was probably looking to make Lake Worth Inlet and run up a canal somewhere. He probably got a call to ditch about the time he was going to run the inlet.

A buddy of mine found a bail of MJ floating. When they tied to pick it up it was completly ruined. In the water way too long and decayed.
I heard of people finding square packs of coke on pompano beach, but it's always a friend of a friend.
With my luck, if there was a square package floating, I would bend one of my props on it!

Anyone remember the story a few months back about the guys in the Keys that found something floating and thought it was coke?? One of the guys snorted a line of it and it killed him.
Never heard what it was but probably not coke or was 100% pure.
Yrs back we were on a Caribbean cruise and far out at sea when a WW II vintage, twin engine plane passed us just off the water and as slow as they could fly w/o stalling.
5 mins later on the same course we passed a stationary, ancient freighter

Seems simple enough....
We won WWII in Europe that way...covered the sky with B-17's and B-25's...superior numbers.
The smugglers have found the weak spot...they know that local LE doesn't have the budget for closely monitoring the coastline as well as all of the ICW and navigable coastal waterways.

Yep, not only planes, but tanks also. That sherman really wasn't all that good, but you put enough of them out there and eventually one of them would hit a tiger and de-track it. Then you go around it untill the airforce could bomb it.
that was also the theory behind D-day. Make them run out of bullets. The boys were actually lucky, they thought it would be the fifth wave that took the beach, ended up being the third.
Learning lots in your classes?
