Offshore Explorer with Scott Dodgson

God Asked Me To Become a Drug Runner

Episode Summary

An incredible true story involving running drugs, pirate coves, and evading a government blockade.

Episode Notes

This is a true story. I changed the names to protect the guilty. God will have to be his own judge on this one. Self judgement begs review. I can safely say it is not looking good for him. As for me I am guilty as charged. I ran drugs for God. 

Let me start with the reason for publicly admitting to the crimes of drug running, drug possession, smuggling, entering foreign countries without permission, running from the US Coast Guard, US Navy, and the Dutch Navy, deliberately violating a presidential order, and a host of international maritime laws. I have written a movie based on these transgressions. The movie is called “Not A Moment To Lose.” For your sharper tools in the shed, that is Jack Aubrey’s favorite saying in all the Patrick O’Brian (Aubrey/Maturin Novels). The film is a romantic comedy adventure. For those of you who know my writing, or I should say for the twenty or so people who know my film writing Romcoms are not a genre you would associate with me. So yes, it is a departure for me, as is telling the truth about my experiences on the high seas.
