Liveaboard Repo Man from Galapagos?

[Scott L]

From Buddy's own website Our Yachts

Smooth, stylish, spacious and comfortable, M.Y. Wolf Buddy and M.Y. Darwin Buddy, the newest and most spacious liveaboard dive-yachts in the archipelago of Galapagos, are much more than just two floating hotels.

The two 120 Feet (36 m) long yachts with 4 decks, which form Buddy Dive’s Liveaboard’s fleet, are custom designed by Buddy Dive and Varadero Maridueña in Guayaquil, Ecuador, which took them 12 months to design and 11 months to build.

If the whole fleet is doing a Dick Cheney, how are they running a diving business? Other than accepting cash payments for future trips?

What is a "Dick Cheney"?

Disappearing to an "undisclosed location" I presume.

Going on life support for a heart transplant, Hiding out after the 2nd DUI arrest, too many Chaney options.

Diving North Korea, that's what I dreaming about. I hear the mine fields are really pretty in summer and navigating through one cuts surface interval boredom. Night dives might be a bitch and one need be careful to make certain what they are tying off too is a mouring buoy.

My guess is that a repo notice as shown in the OP posted on a board such as this will generate the desired response when the operation on one side of the dispute gets a few hundred inquiries as to why they haven't paid their bill to the shipyard's satisfaction.....

That would be an interesting way to push for a desired result. It could backfire on them, causing a struggling company to suffer more damage from internet scuttlebut. That's why I phrased the OP the way I did- I have absolutely no idea if this is true or not- I just got it in a mass mailing.

The Nekton was brought up here in previous posts- the piling-on here at ScubaBoard by pissed-off employees played a huge part in rapidly accelerating their demise.

Wonder why we haven't heard boo on this from the on-site Galapagos Scuba Board regulars?

I agree that something like this can be come a self fulfilling proficiency. I would really like to hear from someone that has been on one of the boats lately to confirm they are indeed running or someone that has first hand knowledge.

Well, I have. I'm more interested in why we haven't heard from the management of the company, even if it's "We're in a dispute, we're running while the dispute sorts itself out."
