Phuket –A missing yacht named “Marco Polo” was found near Indonesia Territorial Water after going missing since last month.

The Chalong Police Chief Colonel Eakkarat Plaiduyang told the Phuket Express, “After we checked CCTV footage nearby, we could not see anyone get on to the yacht as in a witnesses report before.”

 

“The yacht owner understands that his yacht might not have been stolen but its anchor might have loosened with the yacht being washed away by waves. He had already rented a small aircraft to search around Nai Harn Beach and Phrom Thep Cape nearby but still no sign of his yacht.”

Floating like the Mary Celeste near Indonesian waters. So it slipped anchor and cruised out of the marina, alone and unnoticed all that distance. Really? 

 

Captain Jack Sparrow at large again...

as I remember from earlier articles,  there were some crew on board when she disappeared.
