EVENT: Other
HAND: 1
STOLEN ITEMS: Nothing stolen
SECURED: N/A
DETAILS: A yacht with 2 persons onboard anchored in Clifton at 0945HRS for the purposes of checking out, intending to be there for less than an hour. A local boat with 2 men approached and became very aggressive about taking a mooring, many were available. When a mooring was repeatedly declined one of the men began to threaten, first to steal the dinghy if they did not move and then to murder/kill the crew. He attempted to board the yacht with a metal rod in his hand as a weapon. Yelling and the presence of the dog stopped him. Photos were taken, and he continued to threaten to kill the crew. The man departed claiming he would return in 20 minutes with “friends” to kill them.

The Coast Guard was called on the VHF, but did not respond. A phone call to the police was made and they agreed to meet the crew in Ashton to take a report. The man was recognized in the photos and the police/locals indicated he had been problematic with others. They spoke with the man who claimed no threats were made and he had not attempted to board the boat. No charges were made.
