We always see some amazing feats of stupidity there. Like the guy and
his crew who couldn't figure out how to grab a mooring line, so he
backed down on the line and wrapped it on his propshaft.

Well, he got the line!

I think he actually considered spending the night that way, but then
thought the better of it and left.

Or the German group who came into Road Town Harbor in the raw, posing
for the myriad cameras. (none were photo-worthy).

Well, what can you expect from Germans on boats. :-)

Grolsch?

Or the clown who didn't understand that the boat already on the mooring
probably didn't want to share it with him.

Now that's a unique notion.

We figure he probably ****ed people off wherever he went. He attempted to
tie a dockline to an occupied mooring ball. Apparently the Brits down
below woke up and came topside when his boat bumped into theirs. One
young man asked, in a very British accent and loud voice, "Wot the fock
are you doing, arsehole??" The guy replied, "Um, I was picking up this
mooring." To which the Brit responded, "Perhaps you noticed it was
already occupied?" It just got funnier.


Or the kids who didn't watch where they're driving the dink, and ran
into a cat on the hook at around 20mph. I could go on.

On a couple of trips ago, we saw a guy trying to pull his Bene 405
backwards with his dinghy which was moored at Cane Garden. Finally, we
couldn't stand it any more and motored over in our dink to see what was
up. Turns out he wanted to watch the sunset from the cockpit, but the
boat was pointed in the wrong direction. So, he uncleated the mooring
from the bow and attached it to the stern, where the mooring line found
itself caught between the rudder and the skeg. He was trying to remove
the tension on the boat, so he could release the line.

Another time we watched an older couple attempt to anchor their
40-something cat in way too small an area between two other boats in
Little Harbor at Peter Island. The guy would motor right up to the boat
ahead and tell his wife to drop the anchor, then pay out rode until he was
almost on top of the boat behind. Dissatisfied with the first two
attempts, he tried again, only this time his wife literally threw the
anchor into the cockpit of the boat ahead. The fireworks that ensued
were worth the price of airfare.

Thought this would be of interest

read about crossing anchors at bottom of page,
funny considering some of the comments posted here.

This is the part I am refering to on the page.
There is more than enough room, so be mindful of others and don't wind up
directly over someone else's anchor. This has happened to us on more than
one occasion. A very large crewed charter catamaran recently sat right off
our bow, less than a boatlength in front of us. This is needless as well as
aggravating.

So you think you're still not good enough? Is that why you practice

Can't imagine any "older" woman "throwing" an anchor big enough to
hold a "40-something cat".

Shut up ozone, it's a funny story.

What really aggravates me is when idiots like that use an all-chain rode.

It makes it impossible to go over the side in the dark of night with a
nice sharp knife to send them on their way . . .

Cripes Cappy.... use a 3 foot bolt cutter. No sweat... one snap and they are
on their way. You should have a pair aboard any well outfitted vessel.

You're the expert Horass.

You claim to be an island sailor. Nobody that sails the islands uses anything
BUT an all chain rode. DUH ...... coral!!!
