Ocracoke?

Sounds like a slimy green vegetable cooked in a carbonated soft-drink.

I just love how the media *pushed* for details on how they rescued the Capt, and then the Navy gave details.

If these baffoons get wind of these tactics, they might not be such easy targets next time.

I don't understand why our press does this, and why our military gives details. Who cares? We got him back. Don't ask how, just celebrate.
