The island governments throughout the Caribbean must step up and take these robberies seriously. In TT the response is always people fron Trinidad, in the Grenadines it is always blamed on people from St Vincent, etc. Have sailed and stayed on land for years on the various islands. Know many long time residents, and they will say many of the recent problems are done by locals, from Carriacou, Mayreau, Grenada as well. Years ago, yachts were broken into on Mayreau when the sailors were off boat, having dinner on Mayreau, Carriacou, Tobago Cays as well.This problem must be tackled by a unified front on behalf of the various governments. The fact the police on Bequia have no access to boats is appalling.
