Great story

Shame the coast guard did not use descretion and say report to the court and pick up the gun in key west

Would have saved everyone alot of time and trouble

But then we would have not had this cool story

Wow. The navigation part is what I find amazing. Waypoints, plotter, finding a tiny spec in a big ocean... wow. Where I boat, you can always see land. Again, wow.
