dan in daytona Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 This sub contained 17,000 lbs of cocaine with a street value of $232,000,000 and was stopped late last month off the Pacific coast of South America by the U.S.Coast Guard cutter "Munro.".... I grew up watching fake cowboys on TV jumping on supposed wild horses. That was play, play. This is the real thing. These young men are true hero's. Hat's off to all men/women in uniform...past and present. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bet money when that soldier lifted the hatch he had cover from automatic weapons on both vessels ( Navy men have a thing about proper naming of boats or ships, I stand ignorant on which it is ). Still that was crazy dangerous. Everybody can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't under normal circumstances, but after months of training I bet you would have in your 20's. Of course you better know how to swim. 32 minutes ago, thc6795 said: That was bad ass seriously. I totally agree. Wasn't no trick pony show that's for sure.

Cat_Scratch Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Swimming in Blue Water... 100's of feet deep. It's not the water that freaks me out so much as the sea life that lives below. I had a 12 foot tiger shark turn on me 200 yards of the beach. I was on a 6 foot piece of fiberglass and foam. Dude, I looked into it's eye as it passed me and then circled back. Every stroke I made I was sure I was going to get bit and dragged under. I promise you, adrenaline save my life. I caught a wave 30 feet away and not ready to break that no one under normal conditions could have caught. Point of this post, Fuck yeah, the big has my respect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree here, but just have to mention... When I saw this video I was laughing because to me it was hilarious, and was thinking of a decent Knock Knock joke...🤣 Taking nothing away from these brave men, I actually was just comparing it to any REAL RESCUE where some conditions make this look like child's play...... Can't say which is actually more dangerous...(given a possibly armed opponent)...but jumping on a tub and playing knock knock didn't look half as bad, as what these same men do everyday still a nice thread 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your out there all fins look the same You learn REAL quick what each fin looks like, and more importantly how it moves.... That being said the biggest scare of my life turned out to be a 1000 lb Sunfish LOLOL Usually they roll their fins and you can spot them a mile away, but while sitting outside this thing plows thru a set from the beach side and pops thru a couple feet from me, between me and the beach, coming straight at me. Was set to punch the nose tip and go for the eye gouge on the biggest freaking shark I've ever seen...….and then It's a sunfish 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they come close to shore and their wing tips come out of the water by a foot sometimes, and when that tip is about 3 feet from your leg, it sends a banger through your system. It's called zee "Freak Out" moment. Dolphin fins are curved and shark fins are more triangular. You learn after a few times. Troll gets Great White's, we get Tiger. Both are no play thing. Black tips are on the rise in Florida waters lately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black tips are on the rise in Florida waters lately. Threshers and Hammerheads too. In the surf here most often you see blue sharks and smaller dogfish, sand, etc. But any day anytime you never know what you get. Never minded the big mantas, a lot of times would paddle over them just to check them out, but I can't stand the smaller skates, If they come in, they will cover the bars and basically will rip your foot open if you step on them. If I were down there in Florida, I think I'd be leery of those bulls you got the most... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can swim like a fish...in a frigging swimming pool. When deployed to Middle East we got Scuba trained by some Navy seals attached with us there in the Red Sea . They were our buddies so they really fucked with us during training dives. Taking our regulators out and opening there’s up above and worse, below us creating enormous amount of bubbles. We had to swim every am before sunrise for hours and seen hundreds of sharks while in sea there when sun came out. Several training dives included getting dumped few miles out and getting back in to beach. Several other encounters during rec dives there, massive hammer heads, whale sharks, barracudas, huge groupers in caves. There’s hundreds of ship wrecks there so many sharks preying on fish and reefs. When stationed in Hawaii, only seen 1 shark while surfing and we would surf every day if not in field training. Massive Tiger shark came 10 feet from us. We swam a lot in Scouts for “training” in ocean there. Obviously seen many while diving there but that’s expected. Never a great white, which I’m not mad at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
