I have a policy of not denouncing other people to the authorities whatever they do....

Re: Transit and store a boat in Panama for the season

I would never leave a boat unattended in Panama. Only exception would be Red Frog Marina, in Bocas del Toro, under the Cate and supervision of Steve van Riensburg (surname TBC).

Re: Caribbean: resort and sailing

I would say Antigua. Not a lot of "small islands" but loads of nice bays to anchor, beautiful beaches and excellent water and food holes.

If a Yacht is armed and pirates too, what prevents pirates from shooting at the yacht for revenge?

Range? Yes. Let's go for deck mounted fully fledged cannons. That's how it was, anyway.

Re: We are looking for a volunteer crew for our 65 ft motorboat

To crew a 65' M/Y without pay is a drama in itself. No need to add "couples" or "female" drama.

This is ludicrous. Hilarious. Dramatic.
