Well you could have picked the prime anchorage spot to
start with if
you were first in the cove.

Up wind, with the best view.


Typical liberal babble, blame the victim, not the
perpetrator.

Actually no, I didn't see it. I did read the book though.

The game still ended, they just re-started it.

inside a boat. That's OK if they just stayed far far away from people who don't want to be hassled
by all their commotion. And out of sight of people who don't want houses navigating around.
Not to mention their air pollution. Why do anchorages these days have to smell like an airport or a
truck stop? Why does the biggest smelliest noisiest boat always anchor right upwind of the fleet?
They can't seem to stay away. They get as close to you as they can. It's as if they really want to
bother you.

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.

I always try to anchor away from everyone else and people
will think I know some "big secret" abou the bottom or something
and pull up there hooks to move next to me.

I think it all comes down to fear. People are afraid to be on
their own. They think having other people (boats) around will
make them safe.

Speaking of sheep. Did you know there are 60 million sheep
in New Zealand and only 3 million people? The sheep are
looking for a good leader then they are going to take over.

You mean you don't have your tickets yet?

Wonder if there are any extra-terrestrials out there who will run a
preservation program for the human race when we enter the danger zone....

I've found that to true as well... find a nice spot, then someone sees where
you're hooked, and then feels absolutely compelled to drop their hook right
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.

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.
