As we might say in Tejas, "no hay problemo."


I use "de nada" most of the time for both "don't worry about it" and "you're welcome". My Spanish and Tejas are "muy poco".

You just have to let go and jump, no fear!

I'm surprised the drug runners opened up to see who was knocking instead of diving.

Maybe the sub's hull isn't bulletproof.



Yeah, fibreglass isn't usually considered bulletproof. You did see the video showing the inside of the "sub", you could see light from the sun penetrating the thin fibreglass upper hull. Even looking at the sub from outside, it looked as though the upper section was either papier mache or fibreglass, since papier mache wouldn't hold up I am going with fibreglass. The hull looked lumpy and poorly formed, especially around the two port windows. The semi-submersible was not a full-on submarine and could not completely submerge nor would it withstand the extreme pressurization of submersing to any depth.

Most don't understand that the sub wasn't being captured...but instead, repossessed. The crew was underwater on payments.

I am surprised that they didn't put a load of explosives on that hatch and the leave the sub and go back on board the coast guard vessel and detonate the explosives from a safe distance away.

Maybe they were trying to save sea life from an overdose of cocaine or opioids.

Are you going fishing again today, Mr. Smooth Operator?

I watched that one yesterday, several times... Being a former Coastie boatswain's mate, all I could think was "Yahoooooo! Get 'em!"

Semper Paratus!

Haha, I felt like jumping out of my chair, beating my chest, and doing a Tarzan yell. It got my blood pumping too.
