Report Content

As reported by CSSN:

DATE: 2019-06-27 00:00
Country Name: Honduras
Location Detail: NE of Gorda Bank and 215nm East of Guanaja
EVENT: Attempted Piracy
HAND: 1
Stolen Items: None
SECURED: N/A

DETAILS: 

A monohull transiting from Providencia, Colombia to the Bay Islands, Honduras was approached by a white pilothouse fishing vessel ~ 45ft on June 27 at 00:00, position 16 20.486′ N 82 57.469′ W.

The yacht deviated to starboard 20 degrees and the fishing vessel matched course change to follow.

The yacht again deviated to starboard and started their engine and increased speed to 8 knots. The suspect vessel again took an intercept course and closed to within 150ft, then matched the yacht’s speed and tried to come alongside.

At this point, the yacht released sails and made a hard turn to port, passing behind the stern of the other vessel. They shut off all lights, changed course again and motorsailed at 8 knots away from the vessel.

The suspect vessel initially turned to follow but did not increase speed and eventually resumed its original course.

No attempt to contact on VHF 16 was made by either vessel.

The sailboat continued its course to Roatan and encountered suspicious activity the following night (see related report). A report was made to the Port Captain in Roatan after arrival.
