| Incident Details | While on a previously paid for mooring in front of the Anchorage hotel, a yacht was approached by a small local boat whose occupant threatened them with a spear gun and then attempted to use a machete to cut their line. The yacht left the mooring . Reports were made to the police and Coast Guard.

We later learned that the yacht subsequently returned to the mooring, and that business interests in the area conducted a meeting with local boatmen to convey the seriousness of this type of behavior and to (hopefully) prevent any future occurrences. |

| Incident Details | We were Stern-to at pier 6 in Marina Bas-du-Fort (just outside of marina office with large magnetically looked security gates). Someone stepped aboard and lifted up a loose water hose lying on the deck. We pounded hard on one of the main hatches and the person dropped the water hose and ran away. The whole incidence was over very quickly, ca 10 seconds. The Marina’s 24/7 emergency number was called, They spoke poor English and told us to talk with the Marina staff when the office opens the next morning. The Marina does not seem to take the issue with trespassers seriously and told us that they are not responsible for the security and refer to the local police. Reported to Marina. |
