Think you all have a point....
Stealing a vessel that is highly conspicuous in design and
paint just does not make much sense...... seems like it would be identified in a hot second.
Pretty obvious if it came sailing into our harbor.
Me thinks there is some skulldugery afoot here, lads.
Boat steelin' 101.....abscond with a vessel that be lookin' like a lot of others of her make, change the bloody nam and hailing port, and
paint on a different colored shear stripe on the
hull, and be takin' the anchor with ya, might just come in handy and avoid havin' pay an alert dockmaster slip
fees and make out paper
work.
No owner being around for some time, and a near derlict vessel left to decompose and become a sea gull island......seems a bit ' fishy ' !
What be the punishment for declaring a false boat theft report in them waters, eh ?
Danglin' from a strong
rope from a spreader, or walk the plank above a psycho
school of ravenous sharks. Hargghhh, why be choosey, give em both.
