next headline: "US struck humanitarian aid boats with drones, says they had drugs on them" in 3, 2, 1...

it'd be about par for the course given everything else

Mexico also established contact with maritime rescue coordination centers in Poland, France, Cuba ⁠and the United States, as well as diplomatic representatives of the countries of origin of those on board, the navy said.

These aid boats aren't from the Mexican government. This is a volunteer/activist organization.

I'm shocked they would not be transmitting location/video. See Gaza flotilla. See Venezuelan fishing boats.

Friendship was part of the rainbow sailing community, I'd be surprised if they have AIS or anything extra, they bought boats that were write offs, dead engines, no electronics, they sail in a more pure and traditional way. don't be mad at them, I'm not familiar with the other boat, I just hope they made it and are without internet to let everyone know they're okay

Update. Found per Mexican Navy. Delayed due to weather. Another article per the USCG says they made it to Cuba.
