So... this guy was found alone floating on a raft miles from shore off of Key West. He had no food, water or radio with him. He does have a dolly and a back pack loaded with unknown items. Best guess on what he was doing? Or what was in the back pack?

If SniperRAB were still around he'd be envious of the guys building materials. PVC pipe, shipping pallets and ratchet straps are three components any ocean going vessel should begin with.

I'm now leaning towards a hastily thought out escape plan and a verrrrrrrry clingy girlfriend. I'm gonna need confirmation from Skinnerback on this theory. (In which case it's genius.)

Why, it`s clear to me . The guy just left Home Depot after purchasing two treated ten foot 2x10`s. He had to trade his 2020 Duramax for the lumber and he`s just trying to get back home. I look for the price of lumber to come back to normal prices by the 3rd quarter of 2021 though.

mental illness, depression, drug/alcohol abuse in any combination or all of the above. no smuggling or criminal activity or the CG would not have cut him loose.

Maybe he is just taking the social distancing thing a little too seriously.
