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. Or the German group who came
into Road Town Harbor in the raw, posing for the myriad cameras. (none were
photo-worthy). Or the clown who didn't understand that the boat already on
the mooring probably didn't want to share it with him. 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.


Or the people who want to skip the mooring thing and pull their boats up
on the beach, like they do at home on the lake. Actually with many of
them, that'd be safer.

At some point I expect them to lay a guide cable on the sea bed from
mooring ball to mooring ball, and have the boats shuttle themselves from
spot to spot on a pre-programmed schedule while the turons (thanks to
Joe) fiddle with the wheel & ropes & pretend they're sailing.

This is one reason why I prefer staying in the hotel and *really* sailing.


That's entertainment!


Better entertainment is snorkeling with a group of 15 pretty college
girls. That's the one time I don't object to crowds.
