Thought so.
Me too.
But now that we know it's coffee, aren't these the kind of people that make this world a better place to live? I don't mean by selling "green" coffee, though that's good, too. I mean by gutting their boat and sailing off to another country for a cargo to sell back home. That is inspiring.
I know there are many fingers poised at this very moment to fire off righteous sermons about "poor seamanship" and "waste of Coast Guard resources", and maybe they're right. I don't know the whole story, and neither do you.
But if I had a boat, I'd be out there helping them look.
