And they're, like, excited.

Maybe it's the first time in their lives they're in Venezuela.

They're like, hey, look where I am.

This is so pretty.

And they're showing their family members.

They're showing their fellow merchant, Navy crew members, like, where they are.

And it's a whole community online.

And, you know, it's interesting.

Like, the oil is sanctioned, and they're engaged in what the U.S.

sees as illegal activity.

But, of course, like, if this oil is being picked up in Venezuela, then brought to China, and you're a crew member on board of the ship,

Why would you really care about U.S.

sanctions?

You would think so, but it seems we as human beings just love to share things on social media.

What is very fascinating is that we have seen ships that are obscuring their own name in very rudimentary ways.

We've seen bedsheets being hung over the hull to obscure the name.

And in many instances, actually, we have seen them just completely painting over their actual name and just putting on the name themselves.

Not of a fake ship, but of a real ship that is kind of like the same in its appearance.

But a ship that actually when you go to databases, you realize it's a ship that has been sent to the scrapyard.

It doesn't exist anymore.
