No reason to be modest. Tell us, let us in on your vast breadth of

Even more relevant would be a couple of winters in the Caribbean
Islands where serious cruisers from all over the world hang out. I've
done it twice and can't recall seeing a single boat anchored on
anything but chain. The charter boats are all picking up moorings
these days, and under every mooring is nothing but chain. They were
losing too many boats previously.
