High Seas Adventure with Tom Ravey

As Hugo Chávez’ dictatorship was getting into full swing in Venezuela, many expatriates were unsure of what to do. Many had invested in property and businesses around the country, including on the beautiful island of Margarita.

Tom Ravey was dealing with this situation, when a friend asked for his help, travelling to Trinidad and Tobago to recover a boat stolen by her estranged husband.

However, it wasn’t as easy as it first seemed, with Tom and his crew lost power, gas, and even faced troubles with the Venezuelan coast guard.

What can we learn from Tom’s adventure on the high seas, an adventure of accidental piracy?
