I think you misread that Glenn, I believe it was Running Mon Marina that had
only two boats in it.

Interesting. Why is City Marina so empty? I thought the city was
planning a major addition.

I think it was Running Mon in the Bahamas that was empty not the one
in Charleston.

The question is more why didn't all the boaters in City Marina notice
the boat being stolen. A good reason to have more live-aboards who
would be noticing such things.

That's not too tough to figure, since most boats are ridiculously easy
to break into. Wouldn't be surprised if the owners weren't known by the
rest of the dock, and it could have been done late at night.

My questions a why take it in the first place, and why take it to the
Bahamas? You're not going to be able to use a brand new 57' anything
very long. They get noticed. Can't clear in or out without papers; can't
do much more than they did and they'll likely have some explaining to do
to get out of the Bahamas.

Joy ride? Drugs? Smuggling?

The greedy Beach Company is one problem. The other problem is some
idiot built SEAWALLS around the City Marina. 1/2 the marina now is a
mud-pit at low tide. Many boats have their underwater fittings
plugged with mud, twice a day.

How stupid......

Tell me about it. The tide went out when we had the dinghy at their dinghy
dock. It was sitting in the mud. I step off the dock into the mud.... and
plunge up to my crotch in soft ooze. Very funny to watch according to my
wife. I nearly lost my Tevas in the stuff too!

Only Jesus can walk on PLUFF MUD.....(c;

The city built the container to put the pluff mud into. The Ashley
River simply filled up the box.

There's 30' of water under E-dock at Ashley Marina....
