I have seen him twice.
My neighbor has seen him more often.
He motors along the beach -- probably within 10 meters of the shore.
He then motors out into the bay and sits there -- sometimes for hours.
The boat bristles with antennae. And I say "he," because I have only seen the helmsman. If there is anyone below, they stay below.
So, what is up? (I used the telephoto lens merely to give the photograph a "Stevenson explains missiles in Cuba" effect.)
The boat has no markings. But with that silhouette, the orange life rings, and the nautical gray paint job, it certainly belongs to some governmental agency -- most likely the Navy. Though, there are other possiblities.
While I was photographing the boat, someone asked me if I thought it was a narco boat. I responded: "Not unless things are a lot worse than the press lets on." And I find that hard to imagine.
But I really have no idea.
Anyone want to drop a guess in the boat pool?
