His license says “Master”
I used to own much smaller ships.
And I actually caught my crew ...well sort of ....after the fact....putting a few kilos of perico in our welding tanks and scuba gear and lord knows where else
We were running Miragoane Haiti back and forth to Miami and coke in Haiti was maybe 3-5000 a key and 15,000 or so in Miami....late 80s....Miami thanks to Cali and Harold Ackerman...look him up....was awash in toot
Anyhow my Polish chief and mate had made a deal apparently. I fired em which is about all I could do safely
My point is the crew on a ship like that if saavy has incalculable places to hide a lot of cocaine never to be detected and can walk it out or drop it with a beacon close to shore or with a runner nearby
This is a big ship.
I was told about my crew by Colombians I knew who I carried cement for out of Barranquilla to St Martin....And Rio Haina
Word gets around
Alls you need to know is where and when the ship will be where you need it to be. No assoc with the ship whatsoever. Divers at both ends, the ship never knows and Bob’s your uncle.
Thought it might interest you and get us a story in return. I was right :)
It was the second time that cocaine has been found in the Hispania Spirit's rudder trunk...
That's just a weird coincidence.
The cartel needs to rethink its bribery schedule.
Quit paying the shipping company and start paying the ship’s crew.
They probably are paying neither, and the jokers responsible for sticking the coke to the boat have only been caught twice.
8% Muslim is high enough to make the place unlivable.
Master and Captain are same thing on a commercial vessel
Its an old term from sail days
Sailing master or sailmaster or master of sail

back in the 70’s 80’s every one was in on it. Wasnt being monitored as it is now. Flying out of CG Miami during that period we looked more for weed. Then we stepped it up a bit and went for the Cigarets at 1 AM.
Aha the Red Mustache!
el bigote rojo as folks in the Guajira said...
Coke ruined the weed business
why take a risk for less money and more weight
They put it their because of your friend’s reaction.
1987 federal sentencing guidelines is a pretty good reason
Five kilos of coke or more is a level 32
1000 kilos of ganj is a level 32
Back in the 80s a pound of weed was 50 US in Westmorelamd JA loaded and fetched 500-800 a pound by the ton consigned to a trustworthy wholesaler in say Rural Georgia or North Carolina
Not too shabby for identical risk
However smuggling weed North coast South America or JA or Belize north to SE USA coast or Gulf became untenable risk by 1990 in my opinion
Level 32 is ten years and as you know Feds are 54 days good time per year
85 percent to serve
Now Mexico owns the dope trade pretty much it seems
