If You Found a Fugitive

hiding in your boat what would you do? Bearing in mind that insurance won't pay claims due to "police action". Plugging up a punch of bullet holes can't be fun.

What -- put my own selfish desire to keep my boat pristine ahead of the safety of an entire community?

No, I probably wouldn't do that. (I also wouldn't get a stepladder and peek in ...)

I'd probably stop living in crazy land so I didn't just assume some guy crashed out in the cockpit is a fugitive.

Re: If You Found a Fugitive

How you know it's fugitive? Orange correctional clothing or stripes with a number sign perhaps? Could it be John McClane just having another bad day? A member of the Fight Club?
Most likely someone had a bit Amok run during the early hours or was found pants down on top of someone elses wife..

Re: If You Found a Fugitive

At least, cruising boats are too small for stowaways. They are a huge problem for commercial shipping. You can literally be stuck with the guy for years because immigration authorities are not all too keen to let him off the ship.
