Country Name: Honduras
Location Detail: Underway from Bay Islands to the Rio Dulce EVENT: Piracy
CSSN Sources in Rio Dulce, Guaremala report that upon arriving in port, the vessel was immediately hauled out, the crew left the country two days later, so no “horse’s mouth” report is available.
Sources who did talk directly with the owners, said that the launcha which carried the attackers approached and asked for gasoline. When the launcha came alongside, the three men jumped aboard, with a gun, and proceeded to quickly take all the items mentioned – phones, computers, jewelry, cash, etc. They were not interested in removing any marine electronics. There were four people aboard the sailboat – the owners and a couple of friends.
