[QUOTE="4play, post: 2834942, member: 7223"] I don't know anything about the actual boat, but are these normally used in open waters while traveling moderate distances? What is the max range of a boat like that? I'm estimating that journey would be around or at least 250-300 nautical miles, a pretty good distance for a smallish boat. Do they plan operations like that to be running on fumes when they get to their destination, refuel or carry extra fuel? I'm thinking its possible that they were doing something else or coming from/going to somewhere else, not travelling from Kuwait to Bahrain but what do I know. Supposedly they drifted more than 1 mile into 12 mile territory of Farsi island and that is where a military base for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is. I also read the boats are not considered high-tech and don't contain any sensitive equipment, so there were no concerns about the Iranians gaining access to the crafts. If they were cleared of hostile or wrongdoing why are they still being detained or held for an extra period of time? Things over there are pretty volatile right now, it seems like it's only going to get worse. [/QUOTE]
