    The motorboat forgot the #1 rule of getting away with it, act casual not suspicious.

      1 gram on the street in Medellin costs about $3. $5 per gram for the good stuff. Getting it from Colombia to somewhere else is what drives the price up.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Colombian navy seized over one ton of cocaine, worth tens of millions of dollars, after intercepting a “suspicious” motor boat sailing to Central America, authorities said Thursday.

    The “go fast” boat was traveling in waters off the Providencia Archipelago, which is the only part of the country located in Central America and is about 110 miles off the coast of Nicaragua.

    When the boat and its crew were taken to the San Andrés Coast Guard Station, a preliminary identification found that the substance was cocaine, the navy said.

    CBS News has previously reported that the United States is the world’s largest consumer of Colombian cocaine.

    The vessels are usually low in the water, evading detection, but rarely fully submerge, CBS News previously reported.

    Just two weeks later, the crew of a semi-sumbersible vessel carrying over 5,000 pounds of cocaine tried to sink the drugs, worth $81 million, and the sub itself, after being detected by Colombian authorities.
