CANCEL BOLO FOR THE DINGHY
We have good news. The captain of the S/V FREAK N AWESOME received correspondence from the Royal Bahamas Defense Force who advised their 11.5 foot Highfield Dinghy with a 25 HP Yamaha outboard has been recovered and is waiting for them to claim it in Nassau.
The particulars of who found it and where are not known at this time, but when it went missing on 22 March from the Brigintine Cays, Boatwatch.org sent out a BOLO to dozens of marine interests and marinas in the Bahamas, including BASRA and the Royal Bahamian Defense Force. It’s a very nice dinghy and it’s nice to see honest folks in the Bahamas that recovered it and turned it in to the RBDF.
