It seems like there's been a lot of square fish caught recently.
The package adrift in the Atlantic caught the eye of a family enjoying a day of mahi-mahi fishing off the Florida Keys on a Sunday in late July.“Cocaine,” replied his older sister, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, as the package came closer, uttering with the assurance of someone who spent three decades in the Tampa Police Department, including about eight in narcotics and six as police chief.
Castor saved the location of their discovery on her watch, off the Middle Keys city of Marathon, and they headed back to their vacation rental, she later recollected in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times. “Yet another load of drugs found floating off the Keys, feds say. Fifth this month,” read a headline in thepublished the next day, describing the discovery by a “recreational boater,” not mentioning the mayor of Florida’s third largest city.
