Chapter 2: The Love for Sailing
My father is an avid sailing enthusiast. Long before he owned his own boat, he eagerly accepted every chance to sail the open waters. One day, he joined a crew of about eight young sailors embarking on a round-the-world adventure.
The crew was skilled, and they worked harmoniously together. However, they faced a significant challenge: they were too financially constrained to diversify their meals. After two weeks aboard, subsisting solely on noodles, my father had reached his breaking point.

Chapter 3: The Arrival in Maldives
Upon reaching the Maldives, my father quickly disembarked, as the crew only paused to drop him off before continuing their journey. Eager to leave the country, he rushed to the customs office, hoping to catch a flight out.
When he arrived, customs officials inquired about his mode of arrival. My father explained that he came by boat, which surprised them. After some confusion, they asked for the boat's name and its location.
Section 3.1: The Miscommunication
My father could provide the boat's name but revealed that it had already left, leaving him with no means to reach the crew. This sparked a series of bureaucratic complications. Since he was the only one who disembarked, it appeared to customs as though he had materialized without any official entry, a situation for which there were no established protocols.
Subsection 3.1.1: Irony of the Situation
To leave the Maldives, he needed to be formally recognized as having entered the country—a requirement that seemed absurd. Thus began a week of daily visits to customs, where he persistently argued that he simply wanted to depart.
After several days of fruitless discussions, customs finally decided to deport him.
Chapter 4: The Deportation
The following morning, two police cars and a taxi awaited him outside his hotel. Accompanied by a police escort, he was taken to the airport, where armed guards ushered him through security and into the VIP lane.
In the second video titled "ALL The Times We Got Banned In Roblox! - YouTube," you can hear other amusing stories of bans, echoing my father's experience in a lighthearted way.
As he attempted to leave a country he never intended to stay in, the authorities treated him almost like a criminal. Ultimately, my father received a lifetime ban from the Maldives, unable to return due to the unique circumstances surrounding his arrival—or lack thereof.
