What this video covers
Seven cruising vessels remain stranded at the Tyrell Bay marina in Carriacou, Grenada, after a local family erected a fence across the boatyard in late April.2:47 The barrier separates the boats from the travel lift and the launch slipway, effectively preventing owners from returning their vessels to the water.3:18 The fence stems from a decade-long land dispute between the marina and a prominent local family, yet the boat owners are not parties to the litigation.3:44 Despite attempts to negotiate a 48-hour window to launch the boats, the family has ignored all correspondence, and the marina management refuses to intervene without legal authorization.6:48 Local authorities, including the police and government officials, have declined to act, citing the ongoing private legal proceedings.5:38 With the hurricane season approaching, the owners remain trapped on their boats, unable to leave or secure their property.7:10 The owners are now seeking public awareness to pressure local authorities into allowing a temporary opening of the fence.7:59
