Strange ships off shore

[Sickko]

Some one called me just now to ask if I heard stories of strange ships off the coast in Portland and say people are wondering if the US Navy was trying to sneak in.

Well there are strange ships off the coast and they were expected as the round the world yacht race arrives in Jamaica- not sure if those sneaky Americans can dress up a frigate as a sexy yacht but you never know

Look like the whole island a get paranoid, with good reason though.

If the US planned to "sneak" in and get Dudus they have probably already done it and have people pon the ground.
