Anchorage of Terror

This video of the anchorage at Isla Margarita, Venezuela was taken in July of 2008 one day after a cruising couple in their dingy had been run down by one of the speeding local boats. He (the cruiser) died later at the hospital. The yachts had lowered their flags to half mast in his honor. Dozens of local skiffs, rather than slowing down a bit, terrorized the anchorage. Charging, often two or three at once, full speed at a yacht they would turn only at the last second missing by inches. This went on from morning till night as the operators grew more daring (intoxicated?) and the police boat sat tied to the dock, never moving.
