Talk about the big one that got away.
Ryan Danoff was fishing with two friends about four miles off Hollywood beach Sunday when he spied what appeared to be a mast on the horizon.
Funny thing: There was no boat underneath it.
Danoff, a Fort Lauderdale fish farmer who's on the water at least three days a week, aimed his 31-foot center console Fishy Business at the mysterious upright and found himself eye to eye with a periscope.
"It was crazy," he said. "If it was just myself out there I wouldn't believe what I saw."

Nope, drug shipment...via sub. A fishing vessel drags it along the side until they get within thirty miles of the beach...and then lets it go.

Drug-running semisubmersible from Bahamas. Betcha.

So could it have been a Navy sub taking a peek at the beach? "It's kind of uncommon," Bena said. "But it's a definite possibility." Was it a topless beach?

Only discreetly. Hollywood is tamer than parts of Miami beach.

Ruskies? Chi-Coms? NorKs? One of our own subs? I wonder if he had a chance to stick his face right up to the periscope?

Years ago, we were sailing a mile or so off the coast of CT. We were the only boat in the area — or so we thought. Less than 1/8th mile away, a naval sub surfaced and while doing so blasted its horn! Boy did we jump!! Sailors all waved — as they made their way into the sub base in New London.

Of course you know that the US Navy has a sizable presence in the eastern gulf, or more precisely, on the east side of the Military Mission Line.
One of the reasons the eastern gulf is closed to drilling is because the Navy is opposed.
