In some parts of Fla, it's tradition. I can drive to the site of the old McCoy boat works in a couple minutes. The McCoy brothers built the fast boats for the Feds, FDLE*, and even the Coast Guard during prohibition. Thing was....the brothers were "Rumrunners"....smugglers. They always were careful to make their own boats just a bit faster. They brought in top shelf, European booze from the Bahamas....were extremely sucessful....and were NEVER caught. Their booze was the best! The "real McCoy"
Everglades City....where EVERYONE in town....gas station attendant, to the mayor, to the waitress at the diner.....everyone was involved somehow in the import of Jamacian herbal goodness
I think it was the Rolex on the dude pumping gas....or maybe it was the 70 year old librarian in the Maserati....perhaps the police cheif with the sport plane collection....but the gig was up. It was decided that they couldn't put everyone in jail, so they put no one in jail. They took all the cool stuff, and big bank accounts and made the town promise to never do it again
any wonder why I love ol' Florida
Peace y'all
