Try a voyage from Galapagos to The Tuamotus. You may be more friendly

I meet these hermits once in a while. I don't see how they stand
themselves! They must be suicidal. I give 'em a wide berth, so to speak.

If a man goes way out into the woods all alone and says something,
is it still wrong, even though no woman hears him?

Yes. I hate going alongside or being alongside anyone. Why bother leaving
the marina if that is what you like?

Yes, I expect you are right on that. But I would still prefer to meet them
in a bar or cross by dinghy rather than raft together.


His letter says he went along side to get anchoring information then
anchored between them and a reef...

The usual procedure would be to drift, slowly, close to another boat
and shout "Where's a good place to anchor?" They reply, "Over there"
or "Not over there, ROCKS!", or something like that. Then you go and
anchor.

I don't think I have ever seen boats in this area "raft up" as Larry
talks about. Even in Phi Phi Bay, in the high season, when you can
hardly find room to sling the pick, as the Aussies say, boats don't
seem to raft together.

Never raft up in open waters. We raft up in creeks, isolated from
humanity. The only thing is the current, but the big anchors on the
trawler are the main stoppers. There's no waves to overcome the fenders
and break anything. It's great fun away from the city but close enough we
can enjoy the company....and the FOOD! We love the food....

It's much better than the beach. If someone girls get naked, noone gets
busted.....

Oh, the klan has also got some realistic-looking NO WAKE bouys to drop down
and upstream from the raft to slow any boat traffic to a crawl so noone's
bloody mary gets "unstable".

Some of the crabbers have come to recognize the rafting group, also, having
emptied their catch to us....cutting out the middle men, and saving them
from all those silly transportation costs. They'd much rather get back to
the dock with dollars than with crabs. See? FOOD! Gotta love it. The
group has some serious cooking equipment available.

"Yes, ma'am. We're sorry we kept you up all night. We'll anchor much
farther away from now on if you'll just put that shotgun down, now. Thank
you." (Whew, she was ****ed!)
