Tortugas Rising
“The roar of the engines overpowered the chatter of the gunfire as the two boats throttled and churned the water into froth.
The dark craft tried to gain the distance needed to maneuver, but found that the security boat was more than able to keep pace.
Rick Savage screamed into the radio for reinforcements; he relayed locations and instructions between bursts of gunfire.
David Jefferson barked orders to his men to keep the fire on the patrol boat.
This went on for minutes, each boat tearing a wa...ke that crossed the other. Inside the boats, the men were thrown about, and careened off of one another. The pinball effect made firing dangerous.
The fiberglass hulls of each boat were gashed, as intended passes became collisions on the crests of the waves. Piercing shrieks screamed across the channel as the boats rubbed together.
It seemed an endless dance until a loud and hollow sounding “kathunk” echoed across the water. The muted bass note was followed by an explosion that tore a chunk from the security boat.MoreLess
