Caribbean? Just remember my old landlord and friend Bill O'Brien (we shared his communal house back in the late 1970's) along with his lady friend, her son and his girlfriend, were visiting Bill's brother in St Vincent's (around 1989? Can't recall the year) and they were enroute on a boat trip visit to another island (like the expensive la-de-da boats the rich play with) and they dissapeared for good. Never been found as far as I know. The story is they were likely pirated and the boat was scuttled. Bill stood over 6'5" and I guess his size was no match for pirates with guns and things if thats whats happened. I think Bill and them were headed to Martinique, unless I have it backwards and they were going the other way. Either way, Bill and his friend and kids did not come home ever again
You sure you want to live around there? I hear piracy and boat scuttling are par for the course ... drug running? Is this so?
