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?

Dunno but it is washing up in Florida. I assume it is making it
farther north and Donnie may be seeing things eventually.
They had pictures on the news here tonight and it looks like most of
the containers in deck floated off while it was sinking and they broke
up in the storm.
The folks are finding wine too. I just got coffee ;-(


We had a ship locally lose 8 or 9 containers a week ago in huge seas. They
figure they may end up on a local beach. You could see them floating from
shore.
