Incident Details: At 2300HRS the crew onboard a catamaran anchored near the dock in Laborie Bay, St. Lucia, heard a suspicious loud bang at their stern where their dinghy was chain locked. The captain investigated and noted 3 men in a local boat who then drifted off a bit and then again came close and attempted to claim they were the police and began "interrogating" the captain about illegal drugs and weapons. They threatened the captain and crew and mimed shooting a gun at the yacht. ||The captain shown a bright spotlight on the men, and they departed to the nearby town dock. After retrieving some rocks ashore, the 3 men went to the end of the dock and began throwing them in the direction of the yacht (out of range) and swearing. Nothing was stolen. The captain contacted the Laborie police by phone, who were immediately responsive and checked the (empty) local boat at the dock. The police also followed up again the next morning by phone.

Incident Details: At 0200HRS when it began to rain the crew of a yacht on a Soufriere Marine Management Association (SMMA) mooring off Malgretout beach awakened and closed a hatch as it started to rain. This likely startled a boarder who tripped and then fell back into the RIB dinghy that had been positioned alongside the yacht, in an apparent attempt to avoid the well lit cockpit. From a portlight the captain observed 3 hooded men in the RIB and then began yelling at the boarders. The 3 hooded men abandoned their attempt, started their outboard and left. ||The yacht made ready and departed for Rodney Bay ten minutes later. | |A report was made to the SMMA. The Marine Police did not answer their phone, but a voice message was left, but no contact has been made with the victim.
