didn't strip the boat first. We were there for a week a bit more than a year ago and found the residents to be some of the finest people we have ever met, although there is very little money or opportunities to earn any on the island. Possibly one of them said he would try to look after the boat.
I find the entire story interesting, especially the statements of Stockwell, the store manager who ended up having to pay for the bad check. Although at one point he seems to express anger and states that he wouldn't mind if the Primadonna were cut up in a boatyard to pay him, he later claims he wouldn't take any money if the "salvagers" sent it to him, calling them thieves. And what would he call the crew of the Primadonna? After all, they stiffed him for $2500, shoplifted, and more recently neglected to pay for the Bahamian cruising permit (I am guessing they never checked in to the Bahamas).
A strange story, I think there may be a little more to it, and would be curious what eventually happens to the crew of the Primadonna. I hear detention in Nassau is not pleasant.
