Why not watch the Coast Guard boats leaving the U.S.?
A "friend" of mine got drunk one day and launched his boat, intending to sail south of West Palm Beach, Florida, to Miami. But I think the address was wrong or something. Because my friend fainted for a time the boat is underway, and when he awoke, was about two miles north of Grand Bahama island, which is toward the east instead of south. Why did it happen this? I can understand that Bahamians would struggle to patrol all the waters of its territory, but why not make some kind Coast Guard checkpoint before the boat left from America's territorial waters? What if a fugitive or someone on bail was a stowaway? Should not check what?
Do you have an understanding of the enormity of what you are asking? There are nearly 250,000 pleasure boats registered in Florida – and what we are asking is that each of them plans to file browser similar agency to the FAA, then each vessel identification transponders identification (at about $ 250,000 each – on up the price of the boat), then the specific radar tracking of vessels are made of metal, fiberglass and / or wood (the latter two are very difficult to detect on radar!) and staff for monitoring. The entirity of the Bahamas are within the U.S. territorial waters, so there is no clear line of demarcation between the jurisdictions. In addition, we are more interested in stopping people reaching out to our country. ONLY for Florida and the surrounding waters, which are calling for a system that will cost as much as Bill Care Health is nominated by the government at this time. It will not happen! _______________________________ Now, the obvious things. His friend was unconscious for more than just "A while" – is more than 60 miles from West Palm to Grand Bahama Island – so it was out all night. Your friend is very lucky that was not killed – and more fortunate that he did not kill another person. He should be very glad that did not prevent the ICM, and would end up losing more than a trip to Miami.
