I-CHATEAUBELAIR, iSt. Vincent kunye neGrenadines - Xa amadoda amabini aphethe i-cutlasses kunye neyesithathu ekhupha umpu waqhuma kwi-yacht yabo ngo-1: 30 ekuseni, u-Allison Botros kunye nabanye abantu abasixhenxe ababekhwele ngokukhawuleza baqonda ukuba "iPirates of the Caribbean" hayi nje imuvi.
"Sinike imali yakho okanye siya kukubulala," uBotros, umama wabantwana abathathu ovela eCleveland ehamba ngenqanawa kunye nabahlobo baseSweden nabaseMelika, ukhumbula abaphangi babaxelela ngexesha lemizuzu eli-15 yokuphangwa kwe-70-foot-Sway, eyayibambelele kule Izibuko elicwengileyo elisithwe yintaba-mlilo yaseSoufrière kwaye lijikelezwe ngamasundu ashukumayo.
Emva kokungcangcazelisa abakhweli ngamawaka eedola, iiwotshi, iikhamera kunye neeselfowuni, abaphangi bayalele ukapteni uHarald Krecker ukuba aphume ngemoto aye elwandle okanye abethelwe ngeziqhushumbisi.
Kwiinyanga ezintlanu emva kwesiganeko se-Dec. 22, amaxhoba okuphanga akakayifumani ingxelo yamapolisa, ama-pirates ahlala evulekile kwaye iinqanawa ezinqabileyo ezihamba emanzini e-Windward Islands ziye kwenye indawo, zenza idolophu yesiporho yaseChateaubelair.
Ukuhlaselwa okungakumbi, ubundlobongela obuninzi
Uhlaselo kwiiyachters kulo lonke elaseCaribbean bonakalise ubomi obutofotofo bokuhamba ngenqanawa ngokunyuka rhoqo njengoko inani leenqanawa ezihamba kwiziqithi ezishinyeneyo likhula unyaka nonyaka, kunye nokutsalwa kwezinto ezixabisekileyo koomatiloshe kumasela nabarhwebi beziyobisi kulo mmandla.
Ubuncinci olunye uhlaselo oluthathu lwabikwa eChateaubelair kwisithuba seeveki ezimbini ngoDisemba, zonke zibandakanya amadoda amathathu, iimela ezimbini ezinde kunye nompu.
“Into entsha kule minyaka mibini ukuya kwemithathu idluleyo kukwanda kokusetyenziswa kwezixhobo,” watsho uMelodye Pompa, umlawuli weCaribbean Safety and Security Net, iphulo loluntu eligcina ubusela, ukukhuthuza nohlaselo olwenziwe kubakhweli. . “Iya isiba nogonyamelo ngakumbi. Ndiyilandele yonke loo nto kulo mmandla siwugubungelayo.”
Uninzi lwamakhulu eziganeko eziqokelelwe kumazwe angama-30 kunye nemimandla kule minyaka mine idlulileyo zibandakanya ukubiwa kweemoto eziqhutywa ngaphandle okanye ukuqhekezwa kwezikhephe ngelixa abakhweli bebeselunxwemeni. Kodwa imipu neemela isetyenziswa rhoqo, yaye iziganeko ezininzi ezibandakanya ukubethwa nokuhlatywa zezinye zezenzo zolwaphulo-mthetho ezixelwe kwiWebhsayithi, ehlanganisa amanani abantu abaqeshisa, iimarina, abaphathi bezibuko namaxhoba.
Akukho mntu wayekhwele i-Sway owenzakeleyo, kodwa umphathi wenye i-yacht, i-Chiquita, eyahlaselwa ngobusuku obulandelayo, yafumana amanxeba amaninzi, kuquka amanxeba amabini entloko ayefuna ukuthungwa kwisibhedlele sase-Kingstown, ikomkhulu lesizwe sesiqithi.
“Kukho amaxesha apho isenzeka kwaye ucinga ukuba asiyonyani,” utshilo uBotros. “Ngaxa lithile omnye wabo wathi, ‘Ukuba akusifumani isipaji sakho, ndiza kukubulala,’ yaye ndandikhathazeke gqitha kangangokuba ndalibala ukuba andizange ndiphathe isipaji sam kolo hambo. Ndandisithi, 'Owu Nkosi yam, andiyifumani! Ndimele ndiyifumane!' sicinga ngabantwana bethu ekhaya.”
Iindwendwe ze-Yachting kunye nabanikezeli bendawo ababonelela kuzo zizona zinto ziphambili kuqoqosho oluninzi lweziqithi zeCaribbean, kubandakanya neSt. Isivumelwano seveki yenqanawa yodidi oluphezulu efana ne-Sway ixabisa ngaphezulu kwe-13,000 yeedola kunye neendleko, kunye ne-mega-yachts, kunye namachibi abo okuqubha kunye neehelikopta, ziya zilahla i-ankile kunye nobutyebi kumazibuko anqabileyo alo mmandla.
Izambuku zolwaphulo-mthetho zikaDisemba apha zabangela ukuba kubekho umlindi wonxweme kunye namapolisa, kodwa iinkcukacha zempendulo azicacanga. Abameli bamapolisa aseSt.
Olu hlaselo lwawakhuthaza namashishini eenqanawa zesi siqithi. Besoyikela iindlela zabo zokuziphilisa, abaqeshwa bezikhephe kunye nababoneleli baye bayigatya imali yesikhephe sokugada baza bapapasha uludwe lwezinto omele uzenze nezingangenziwa kwabo baza kuba ngabakhenkethi. Abanye babevakalelwa kukuba kuphela ukubeka iingozi kumnyama namhlophe.
“Ukuba bendinokuyifumana le nto, bendiya kukhwela inqwelomoya elandelayo ndiphume apha ndigoduke,” uMary Barnard, umalathisi weBarefoot Yacht Charters, wathi ngale ncwadana inemifanekiso, ngokusisiseko icebisa oomatiloshe ukuba bahlale bevalelwe, kwinqanawa yaye begadwe. ngamaxesha onke.
Wabhala ileta evela kwisibini saseKhanada ebesibathengi kangangeminyaka, apho sathi uhlaselo lwaso lukaJuni 2006 nokuphangwa ngamadoda axhobe ngeesabile kwawanyanzela ukuba “ayeke ukukhenketha kwindawo ohlala kuyo.”
KwiNdawo yokutyela yaseBeach Front kunye neBar kwizibuko laseChateaubelair, uweyitala uFelix Granderson uthe ucinga ukuba ingakhuseleka ngakumbi ngoku ngenxa yokhuseleko olongezelelekileyo kodwa kunzima ukuyixela kuba oomatiloshe abasabambeki apha. Wathi abaphangi babevaleleke kwiintaba eziphakamileyo eziphezu kwezibuko.
“Wonke umntu uyazi ukuba ngubani oyenzayo. Ngabafana abafuni ukusebenza, abasuka eFitz-Hughes,” utshilo, ebhekisa kwilali esemagqagaleni eLa Soufrière.
Nokuba ngaba kubanjwe ulwaphulo-mthetho olujoliswe kwii-yachters, amaxhoba awafane akwazi ukubuyela ukuze achonge okanye anike ubungqina ngokuchasene nabahlaseli bawo, utshilo uChris Doyle, umbhali wezikhokelo ezithandwayo zokuhamba ngenqanawa kwiCaribbean.
“Iziqithi zinenkqubo yokugweba esukela kudala kwaye ithanda kakhulu isaphuli-mthetho xa ixhoba lingahlali,” utshilo, ecacisa ukuba kutheni abaphangi bezikhephe bengafane batshutshiswe.
Ivuthelwe ngaphandle komlinganiselo?
Amapolisa aseziqithini adla ngokuba “kwimo yokusabela,” utshilo uPompa malunga nokuxhalaba okuhlala ixeshana kunye nophando olulandela izehlo. Kodwa ezinye iziqithi ziye zafunda kubhengezo olubi xa lungena kwishishini lezokhenketho apho uninzi lwazo luxhomekeke kulo.
“IDominica, kude kube malunga neminyaka esibhozo eyadlulayo, yayidume kakubi, kwaye yayifanelekile,” watsho ngesiqithi esimalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-135 emantla apho abaphangi babezingela iinqanawa ezityelelayo. Xa oomatiloshe bayeka ukumisa apho, inkulumbuso yahlanganisa oosomashishini ukuze babhangise isikhephe esiye salunciphisa kakhulu ulwaphulo-mthetho ebhodini.
AmaPirates ahlasela i-yacht e-Rodney Bay e-St. . Urhulumente wathumela isikhephe sokujikeleza esibukweni, “esibonakala sisithintelo ngandlel’ ithile,” utshilo uPompa.
Ulwaphulo-mthetho oluchasene nababhexeshi luphantsi kulo lonke elaseSt. Lucia kulo nyaka, wathi, kwaye akukho siganeko samva nje esiye sabandakanya ubundlobongela, ngokutsho kweelog zewebhu ku-safetyandsecuritynet.com.
Abanye abanamava amade abahamba ngeenqanawa zeCaribbean bathi akukho nto ingako ukuba ulwaphulo-mthetho luye lwanda, kodwa kunoko umthamo wokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye neendlela zokunxibelelana ngeziganeko.
“Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho inkxalabo, kodwa kunzima ngenene ukutsho ukuba kukho ulwaphulo-mthetho olungakumbi kwizikhephe kunokuba kwakunjalo okanye ukuba ukusasazwa kwenkcazelo kubhetele ngoku,” watsho uSally Erdle, umhleli weCaribbean Compass, iphephandaba eliphuma kanye ngenyanga elipapashwa kwiphephandaba. IBequia, esinye isiqithi saseSt. Vincent kunye neeGrenadines ezithandwayo ngabantu abahamba ngeenqanawa. "Nge-Intanethi, i-yachts zonke iingxelo ze-imeyile zezi ziganeko kude nakude ngokukhawuleza, kwaye zixoxa ngazo kwi-yacht kunye ne-ham-radio nets."
Imigqomo yasehlathini yaselwandle nayo inokuvelisa iingxelo ezininzi ngesiganeko esinye, utshilo, "esiguqule sibe liqela ezingqondweni zoluntu."
"Izinto ezimbi ziza ngamaza," watsho umbhali uDoyle, ogama lakhe le-cruisingguides.com liquka iingcebiso malunga namaza olwaphulo-mthetho kwiindawo ezixhalabisa ngokwenene ezifana neziqithi zaseVenezuela kunye neChateaubelair.
“Ukuba sinendawo enengxaki nabo banoxanduva besakhululekile, kufuneka sizame ukubalumkisa abantu,” utshilo.
