Country Name: Guadeloupe
Location Detail: Marina Bas du Fort
EVENT: Attempted Theft
Stolen Items: None, failed
SECURED: N/A
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 told us that they are not responsible for the security and refer to the local police. Reported to Marina.
