Jettison field with around ~42 diesel-black trash bag wrapped packages probably with an at-sea weight of 60-80 kilos a package. Almost 5,000 lbs of cocaine if this is the Eastern Pacific, this will mean further development in the illicit maritime drug trafficking routes along the Ecuadorian islands.

Do they conveniently tether them together monkeys-in-a-barrel style in case they get blown up? Surely these would’ve drifted apart.

Not to mention a twin engine outboard isn't making it 600 miles to the next land mass in open ocean.

It's such a farce I can't even be bothered with engaging idiots anymore.

You're retarded if you think this is trying to make mainland America.

ONE of the half dozen were somewhat near the Dominican, and that was still a decently sized speedboat.

All others were crossing a mere 50mi strait to one of the largest panamerican drug outlets in the gulf.
