The beaches on the East Coast of Florida are littered with stuff

In spite of a trip up from a couple miles down, it still seems to be
intact


Are you SURE that's coffee? It might have come from another source!

The cargo was going the wrong way for anything really interesting.
If this was coming from Colombia, I suppose I would be worried about
developing another bad habit but a pound should keep you going a
while. ;-)


Wouldn't the gulfstream take it a lot farther north than FL?
