Emergency Stop turned Nightmare in Marshall Islands​

Apr 19, 2025 GUAM

This video is entirely different from my previous ones in that it is about the horrendous experience my friend Steve was subjected to in the Marshall Islands, related by him. It is a case of the category “Paradise Lost”.
This is the story of false accusations of drug smuggling and a ransacking robbery of everything of value that Steve owned on board his yacht, after he had just sailed solo for 96 days from Mexico to Majuro.
I am part of this story, and I even was with Steve at the Immigration Office when he was presented, verbally, with a $2,000 fine. We insisted to have it in writing, but there still was no reason, no charge, no contravention of any law.
It is also the story of an unusual and very special schooner crossing the Pacific Ocean under jury rig, and the strength and resilience required of Steve for this endeavor.
