Megwyn 2 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 A plot for a thriller: Interpol plant with gps tracker gets found out by sailing trafficer while on route to drop off. Fight ensues. Trafficer gets the upper hand, officer goes overboard, but trafficer badly wounded. Injectable antibiotics on board, but no needles, so unable to administer medication. Infection gets the upper hand. Delerium takes over, yacht hits reef. Trafficer dies. Yacht found with dead body (and one missing sailor), with a false skin full of cocaine. The end. Link to post Share on other sites

mountie 0 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I would say a simple case of the skipper/crew getting a bit too up close and personal with the cargo. I mean, if you had 204 kilos of Mt Gay rum onboard, it would be hellishly hard not to avoid having a tot at happy hour. However, cocaine is well documented as being a lot more adictive, and the skipper/crew would likely to have had some 'hands-on' knowledge of the cargo, prior to the voyage.
