Is the vessel manned or unmanned? Is someone also missing or did the vessel leave Jolly Harbor on its own?
Tuesday afternoon of last week????
You’re on the ball
Hmmmmm. Is is this a locally made boat? Do imported boats go through the same Port/Customs protocols as road vehicles do? Just asking to satisfy my ignorance on such matters. Has an alert been sent to neighboring islands which might be wittingly or unwittingly HARBOURING the boat?
