Country Name: St. Lucia
Location Detail: Castries
EVENT: Assault
HAND: 1
Stolen Items: gold chain
SECURED: N/A
DETAILS: A captain and his wife were shopping at the vegetable open market in Castries, St Lucia , at 10:30 AM when one male, approximately 20 years of age, assaulted the captain by striking him from behind, pushed him to the ground and then ripped a gold chain from his neck. During the assault, the captain’s wife attempted to intervene, and she was struck several times in the chest. Neither the captain nor his wife required medical attention. The assailant escaped by running away from the market. The captain tried to chase the assailant, but was unable to catch him . The victim reported that during the assault, there were approximately 50 local residents who witnessed the assault, and nobody said or did anything to stop it, or assist them after the incident. A police report was made to local authorities.
I am a boat owner who lives on the waterfront Vigie. I have a mooring that I maintain for my 33 x yacht currently on dry dock. Feel free to use it!
Welcome to Saint Lucia.

Wanted to see Castries, and went into an anchor in the designated area in the inner harbor.
We have a modern anchor, but it was impossible to back it in and obtain a secure anchoring.
When retracting the anchor for a new trial, it was every time full of plastic sheets, cloth, and rubbish.
The layer of rubbish must be thick, we tried 3 times without being able to penetrate with the anchor.
I now consider this as an unsuitable area for anchoring overnight. Even if only going in for a daytime visit, be careful and consider the wind.
We were able to anchor at Vigie, but there is not a lot of space there,
and many small ferries shuttling for cruise ships.
