Drug-Smuggling Colombian Submarine Boat Captain Tells His Story


(FWIW, it's Baja related, to my surprise, I saw that the subs come through along the Baja coast as well as traversing the Caribbean)

I read this story, and kinda feel sorry for this captain... I wouldn't doubt many people are pulled into the drug trade due to similar circumstances, or because they are threatened with either working with them or death.
