The captain claimed he was intercepted at 18 25.629 N 64 46.096 W on their way to St. Francis Bay on St. John. I 'Googled' the coordinates to view his position as he claimed, which appears to be about a mile off White Bay, Jost Van Dyke. This point is well within BVI territorial waters and if not within the 'Exclusion Zone', it was a 'rock's throw'. What were his intentions if he had not been intercepted? It is clearly not a route from St. Thomas to St. Francis Bay. Does the definition of 'innocent passage' mean free reign to sail in the territorial waters of a foreign country, or does it imply a necessary passage to travel from point 'A' to point 'B'?
