Trouble in Paradise

This just in off The Coconut Telegraph in Fort Lauderdale: the Feds are confiscating Ship's Papers off various large yachts--foreign-built, likely, not foreign-flagged--for a non-payment of duty issue.
Our local customs guy has allegedly said that there is some new wrinkle involved.
In any case, yachts at Bahia Mar marina have been affected, and the rumor is that the authorities are starting to canvass the local yards.

Oh oh.

To the uninitiated, this means they (the Yachts) are going nowhere soon.
