I'm bummed out reading this. This is the first year in the last half dozen
that we are not doing the BVI thing. We've always rented cats from TMM also.

If any of you putzes sailed and lived aboard real boats
you would not feel any need to go play sailor on some
stupid tourist trap multi-hull.

Just imagining the gallons of puke you're walking on
should be enough to give any sane person pause. . .

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

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

What a load of crap..... they do not all use only chain.
....and you are not permitted to drop anchor on coral! DUH!

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 . . .


Hey! ****ing Moron! Ever heard of BOLT CUTTERS?






Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Yeah Right! Like I'm going to swim around a harbor with bolt cutters
that probably weigh twenty pounds.

Next thing you idiots will suggest is an ox-acetylene torch . . .

They make 3' bolt cutters that float ?

Or will those water wings you keep under your shirt keep you afloat?

No... but if you have a clue at all... you slip foam pipe insulation around
the handles and let me tell you... you now have a very light set of 3ft Bolt
Cutters in the water!

scribbled thusly:

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.

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

It was a Fortress--a large one, but light enough, apparently. Made one hell
of a racket when it landed in the cockpit of the monohull ahead.

That's why raconteurs avoid Aussies--they stop the story to inquire about
perceived inconsistencies every five seconds. A PITA, I can tell you. g

Try to find a boat in the islands that doesn't use an all chain rode for the
primary. As far as dropping on coral goes your anchor may be in the sand but
your 100' rode may be in the coral. Your only "not permitted" in the "park"
areas. Patches of coral are everywhere.
