Naturism as selfdefence
In 2011 I was sailing a very beaten up schooner called "Gloria" around the Caribbean islands which make up the Grenadines. This schooner I'd purchased with practically the last of my cash for f1500. We had many experiences, not least was the oil pressure on the engine going AWOL. But eventually we did fetch up in St Lucia. There http://www.linkagogo.com/go/To?url=108469609 -joined us and among the crew left.
Our next stop was the island of Bequia, the aviator novel warned that the holding for the anchor in the main bay was not too good and to be cautious of yachts dragging their anchors. Nevertheless https://www.pinterest.com/hardingcurtis/ did not hit anything and came to rest in a relatively sheltered area. Myself and buddy Edmund donned snorkels and masks and dived to check said anchor, it was not dug in very well at all, so I piled some rocks on it. Afterward after surfacing we set another anchor out to make sure. The issue was that the sea bed wasn't too deep sand over coral, and also the anchor was having trouble biting.
A couple of nights later during another squall I 'd my slumber touched by the unmistakable sound of twin diesels going hard astern, on coming from my berth and running topsides I saw a big catamaran really close to our bow taking evasive action. He had obviously dragged his anchor and just managed to miss us and recover his equipment before going off to try again someplace else.
This scenario was rein acted several times over our stay in the assorted Islands. We didn't drag, with no engine we could not afford to, so we put down lots of chain and an additional anchor at every stop. Nonetheless, after we got hit by two yachts one night at the exact same time, I resolved to find a solution to this problem. https://www.instapaper.com/read/1305928812 will like the solution I found to this problem.
The group of yacht uses we had most trouble with were the ones who charter their yachts, some of these individuals haven't had lots of expertise in Anchoring, and there's rather lots of technology to what on the surface appears a easy manoeuvre. These individuals, tend not to have spent substantial quantity of time in close proximity to others as in a small yacht surroundings. These people are the sort which never have come face to face with bare human bodies except in certain scenarios. In fact I found that if I appeared naked in the cockpit while I read a book and waved to the newly arriving charter yachts of an evening, they'd go right over to the other side of the bay, "hey presto" issue sorted!)
