Incident Details After reading positive reviews in Navionics, a yacht anchored alone in Playa Chiquita at 1900HRS. At 2230HRS a swimmer attempted to board the monohull. The crew shined a bright light into the mans eyes as he explained in Spanish he wanted to rest and his friend would be arriving soon. He asked if they wanted to give him a life vest or an iPhone. Before he could climb the transom he was told to leave immediately or there would be trouble. The swimmer gave up, swam away, and the yacht departed.
