Location Detail: Fort de France
EVENT: Other – Dinghy Set Adrift
Stolen Items: None
SECURED: Not Locked
DETAILS: We were anchored in Fort de France and made an arrangement with two other cruisers to meet ashore for a picnic. We were last to arrive around 6PM and whilst approaching the dinghy dock saw three local youths aged about 18 untie our friends (not locked) dinghy and kick it free. The wind was blowing off shore and we retrieved the dinghy on our way in. The three youths saw us tie the dinghy up and in a threatening manor told us to keep quiet, as there were others cruisers present they eventually left. No police report was made.

Solar Panel Theft in Martinique

(DATE: 2013-06-06) Cul-de-sac Le Marin anchorage, Martinique. A cruiser who left his yacht anchored in Le Marin while back home, has had his boat boarded and solar panels (at least more than one), which had been purchased 2-3 months ago stolen. It wasn’t a grab-n-go hack job, but the person or persons had carefully and properly unscrewed all the bolts and then clipped the wires. The police have dusted for fingerprints.
