I do believe that the ship should have stayed at least one more day in case we could have assisted the police investigation in any way. And we might have provided a bit more support to the family. I spoke with Star Clippers public relations folks this morning and they were well aware that the ship had no plan in place to handle a crisis of this magnitude. I gave them my unvarnished opinion of how things were (mis) handled on board.

A couple was murdered a year ago near the same place Nina was found and they were together. So it's dangerous to walk the beaches during the day with or without a friend? Also, a Jamaican business owner was gunned down about 4 months ago and they still can't find the murders. You can paint the prettiest picture of this place all you want but the fact remains that Antigua has a serious crime problem that needs to be address before more people die.
