How are these "drug boats" reaching the US? [View all]

Has anyone asked the regime how these supposed drug smugglers are reaching the US when Venezuela is over 2500 miles from Texas? I admit I don’t know the fuel economy of 1 of these boats but I would imagine that you’d have to be carrying hundreds of gallons of extra fuel on board to be able to reach the US. Nothing in any of the videos shows an inferno that suggests they are carrying that amount of fuel on board.
