I have seen past stories and they all involved boats in an anchorage by themselves or an area where it is not recommended to be. This is the first I've seen involving a boat in an anchorage with others around.

We had a great time our last two trips to St Lucia but I've never liked the boat boys as they are too aggressive and often don't take no for an answer so quickly. Last time we had 1 approach us and we told him thanks, but we are all set. He accepted that and left and then another boat approached us as we were much closer and I told them we were all set, no thanks and the other boat had already talked to us. They did not take no for an answer and then the other boat came back.. it was an uncomfortable situation.

They really do need to do something. With the money tourism brings in, you'd think having patrols and other deterrents would be more of a priority. Although it seems even when they do catch someone, the penalties are too lenient.
