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!

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. :-)

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.

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.
