Picture this. It's 5 a.m. You're on a sailboat alone off the coast of Florida. You go below to wash your face and suddenly you hear the engines of a ship close by. It turns out to be this tug and barge. You climb out of the hatch and astern you see a red light to the left of you and a green light to the right of you, bearing down quickly. What do you do? Read this USCG Press Release.

What happens when the Coast Guard reaches you? They put you in handcuffs, of course.

There is video too.
