You know it’s a bad day...

It’s definitely a bad day when your tri powered, drug running, stealth speed boat is captured by a 3 masted sailing ship.

But how did a sailboat out maneuver a fast boat like that??
I think I could out maneuver them in a johnboat with a 10 horse outboard. :)

Same question Bug. Only thing I got, is bad fuel.

Can’t imagine the ribbing the crew will get in the slammer.

So tell us Jose, did the trainees on the sailboat brandish a cutlass or just belaying pins?

Yah Jose. Did they cross your Tee like Admiral Nelson at Trafalgar? Was it hard to dodge their broadsides?

   Rather like the humiliation felt when a couple of our riverine fighting boats were taken by the Iranians, with a couple "Boton whaler' type fishing craft.

  Of course, that was during th shameful "Obama years" !  ..And we had a naval task force in the area...
