It was 840 kilos, probably valued at about 58 million.

But they sent out again one of these kind of rib boats, they're kind of semi-inflatable.
You know, they're ocean going.
This particular one was really well equipped.
Everything that needed to be blacked out was blacked out.
The suspicion is you had one of these cigarette boat drivers from...
You know, from the south of Spain, doing runs for years between Morocco and Spain, had been drafted in.
They clocked up something like just under 1,000 kilometers chasing the cool explorer trying to get this consignment of drugs.
And for whatever reason, they weren't able to do it.
There was two crewmen.
The whole thing was like full of fuel.
You know, they were kind of off the coast of Cornwall at one point, really.
Right.
So whatever happened anyway...
