What is it with “location: Gulf of Mexico, Mexico” you don’t understand?

alright it might be for in Mexican waters afterall…I missed that second Mexico after seeing Gulf of Mexico but then again, the GoM is generally considered to be the US Gulf and the Mexican Gulf is referred to as the Bay of Campeche

my error…never said I was perfectly right ALL the time, just MOST of the time
