Always enjoy watching the "go fast" boats which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, become a bullet riddled chunk of fiberglass.

Thankfully, they fire "warning" shots, for posterity.

Looks like some good television.

The Coasties have been doing this since the '80s. I've never understood the fact BGs have never learned two basic survival lessons.
1) You can't out run a radio.
2) Once there's a chopper on you, its game over.
Oh, well, it provides enertainment for the rest of us. ;D
