Drug smugglers passing by the Florida Keys in recent days lost a good chunk of their shipments judging by what recreational boaters found in the water over the July 4 holiday weekend.
On Sunday, boaters found 87 pounds of hashish in the ocean south of the Middle Keys city of Marathon, said Adam Hoffner, division chief for U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Miami sector.
The same day, in roughly the same area, another boater found a load containing about 62 pounds of cocaine, Hoffner said.
