Unrelated to anyone's diving adventure, but it's amazing as to what's going on just over the horizon!

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras - At least 4.6 tons of cocaine were found on a boat in the Caribbean Sea and six of the vessel's crew members were arrested, Honduran authorities said Saturday.
Honduran Navy Comm. Juan Pablo Rodriguez said the cocaine was found on the Honduran-flagged Eclipse about 100 miles off the Honduran coast in a joint operation with the U.S. Coast Guard. The area is near the Nicaraguan border.
Rodriguez said Saturday that the officials were still searching the boat and the total of the haul could end up being more than 4.6 tons.
You coulda' prolly seen the lights from any tall building on a hill from Roatan!
Lessee here, 4.6 tons x 2,000 = 9,200 pounds. 9200 pounds = 4173 kG
I think that would be 4,173,000 grams plus or minus. Maybe $533 million? Well, a bunch, anyways. I'm sure there's a quantity discount there, somewhere.
Holy shnikeys, Batman.
BTW- it is very easy to avoid illegal drugs in the any of the Caribbean islands. It is highly recommended to do that.
Boy, somebody somewhere to the South of there is really honked off. Tough luck, pal.
Good work, and high praises to that thin blue line.
