Cosa tratta questo video
Seven boats are trapped in the north section of Tyrell Bay marina, Carriacou, after a powerful local family erected a fence on April 25 that physically separates the travel lift from the boats' launch ramp (the darse).Watch Five of the seven boats sit on the darse side of the fence; the travel lift sits on the other side.2:54 Without the travel lift crossing the fence line, none of the boats can be relaunched.3:18 Djé explains that a land-ownership lawsuit between the marina and this family has been running since 2014, but the liveaboard crews arrived this year with no knowledge of it and are not parties to it.8:53 The family built the fence without a construction permit and has ignored two written requests — one direct, one through a Grenada lawyer — to open it for 48 hours to allow relaunch.5:37 The marina's own lawyers have told management not to act without the family's authorization.7:45 Police refused to log a complaint; government ministries, urban-planning authorities, and the French embassy have all failed to produce results.5:38 With hurricane season underway and the boats serving as the crews' only homes, leaving by air is not an option.7:22 Three months in, Djé calls the situation a hostage-taking and appeals for maximum public sharing to pressure the family into a 48-hour fence opening.10:18
