WASP SPRAY! You can clear into any country with it, it has an effective shooting distance of 20+ feet. We keep one can in the cabin where we sleep and another in the galley. Source on this was a Hillsborough County Florida deputy sheriff. Bonnie Powell, currently in Bocas Del Toro, Panama.

Reports

St. Vincent & the Grenadines: Tobago Cays - Armed Robbery
Victims of this attack on 2 July 2011, Allen and Kate Barry of SY Mendocino Queen, have not only reported in detail of the actual attack, but also included information about the build-up to the attack, post-attack actions and a summary of what they felt they could have done better, and should have done with hindsight. A worthwhile report for any cruiser to read, with some first-hand lessons to learn.
