More like a Bob Marley wannabe.

With those dreads, I’ll bet a dollar that the “arabic writing” is Amharic and we have a case of a stoned Rastafari doing something dumb and dumber local police who see all squiggly foreign text as arabic.
Is that a photo of the guy? He looks like somebody I’ve seen up here in St Augustine. If so, he’s a sort of rasta-man Island-Muslim type who lives on his boat, a ratty sail boat that used to be anchored off the Santa Maria restaurant until they put in mooring fields and charged fees that were too high for some of our transient boating population. Since then, he’s been moving the boat from place to place.
He shows up in the park and does his Islamic prayers from time to time and the rest of the time wanders around town to the free-food places (St Francis House) until it’s time for him to go back to his boat. He generally doesn’t talk to strangers, although after you see him a few times, he recognizes you and will greet you. I think he’s pretty harmless, if this is the same guy. He probably got blown off course today and ended up at Canaveral by accident.
Looks like the dude smoked all the herb before he could make it to shore.
