Coming back from our station as Start A at the Heineken Regatta yesterday, we noticed a megayacht in the distance that was not broadcasting an AIS signal, which we found odd. Then we noticed the Dutch coast guard cutter circling around it, and then that the Customs "drug plane" was buzzing about as well. Soon thereafter it looked like it was being escorted away from the island. I got out my long telephoto lens and just now zoomed into the original and found that the places where the vessel name is usually found were blanked out.

I'm assuming that, given the embargoes and restrictions on Russians, this might have been a possible cause.

I haven't found anything in the news, either. That's surprising, considering the good press for the Customs department. See the attached picture for a picture of the action
