this reminds me of an incident that happened on a beach near port arthur, texas in 1978 or 1979. a shrink-wrapped bundle with around 1000 pounds of marijuana washed up on shore. a guy down the hall from me in the dorms had some polaroids of it and he said that he sat on with a shotgun while his friend went to get help to divide it up and cart it off. not quite $20 million but an impressive haul.

We got a long way to go, and a short time to get there.

And yes, it’s a boat. Ghost ship had me picturing something far bigger.

Betcha someone had to go to remedial knot-tying school after the boat went missing.

Someone learned that knot tying can be a matter of life or death

I don’t even like cocaine and I think that’s just a damn shame.

A similar thing happened in the 2001 in the Azores. The negative effects are still beings felt today:
