Attack on cruising couple in Panama OCEAN NAVIGATOR / WEB-EXCLUSIVES 2012 / ATTACK ON CRUISING COUPLE IN PANAMA BY TIM QUEENEY
According to a report from Don Winner at Panama-Guide.com, two cruisers were attacked on board their sailboat in the Bocas del Toro region of northeast Panama. Two assailants climbed on board at approximately 1:00 am and physically assaulted the couple before stealing "...cameras, electronics, a computer, cash, and jewelry. The attack lasted at least two hours, during which time the victims were assaulted and brutalized. The victims were finally able to put out a call for help on the radio at 3:30 am in the morning, after the assailants had left." According to Winner, "There is a report that some would be assailants - possibly these same two men - tried to board another sailboat at 10:30 pm ... on Saturday 7 July 2012. Reportedly these would-be victims were able to 'repel' that boarding attempt, and nothing else happened." http://www.oceannavigator.com/Web-Exclusives-2012/Attack-on-cruising-couple- in-Panama/ _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
