    I am currently cruising in Greece, and an unfortunate incident happened a few miles from us on Friday night. 13 crew, all Greek, as well as the yacht Persefoni 1 have all been arrested.

    Hard to believe they d set up fireworks on the boat itself…. Equally hard to believe that a Greek crew wouldn’t be aware of Greek rules and the drought. Could the guests have launched them before the crew could do anything ?

    Weird story.

    After spending the last month in Greece, I concur with Ken about Greek crew. I am not surprised by this at all.
    Even my agent made fun of Greek yacht crew!!
