In 1977, 19-year-old Dale "Catman" Ballard said "yes." He traded his blues harmonica for a seat on a failing 76-foot yacht loaded with 13.5 tons of illegal cargo. 📦

They call me the "Catman" because I’ve always lived by the rhythm of the blues—but in 1977, that rhythm nearly stopped. I traded the stage for a seat on a 76-foot yacht loaded with 13.5 tons of cargo.

I didn’t even know I could do that.
They grabbed me and started screaming.

I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.

That feeling when the easy-money trip turns into a full-blown crisis and you realize you are 1,622 miles from home with no easy way back. From Fort Lauderdale to Santa Marta and back again.
