next to you. Happened down in Belize. We waited until the small fleet
gathered, then picked up the anchor and moved about 200 yard away.

Most people are sheep looking for a herd. So they cluster
together and skip perfect anchorages, if they are empty and
race to crowd into an anchorage that is overcrowed.

I can think of many time where I was the first to anchor in
what I thought was a perfect anchorage that was empty,
late inthe day, only to find 3-4 boat follow me in and crowd me.
This was in Macarel Cove south of Jamestown, RI.

True that. People want their cake and to eat it too. They, we, crave
the comforts of being social but with the illusion of isolation. No man
is an island.
Ok, I'm Donne.
