This schooner I'd purchased with almost the last of my money for f1500. One thing led to another and having little work but lots of time myself and some friends sailed Gloria across the Atlantic. We had many adventures, not least was the oil pressure on the engine going AWOL. There my lady friend Helen rejoined us and among the crew left.
Our next stop was the isle of Bequia, the aviator novel warned that the holding for the anchor in the primary bay was not too good and to be careful of yachts pulling their anchors. We came in during a gale force squall, complete with horizontal rain (warm), without an engine the manoeuvre was a trifle challenging. Yet we did not hit anything and came to rest in a relatively sheltered place. Myself and buddy Edmund donned snorkels and masks and dived to assess said anchor, it was not dug in very well at all, so I stacked some stone on it. Afterward after surfacing we put another anchor out to make sure. The issue was that the sea bed wasn't too deep sand over coral, along with the anchor was having trouble biting.
A couple of nights later during another squall I had my slumber disturbed by the unmistakable sound of twin diesels going hard astern, on issuing from my berth and running topsides I saw a sizable catamaran quite close to our bow taking evasive action. He had clearly pulled his anchor and only managed to miss us and regain his equipment before going off to try again someplace else.
This scenario was rein acted many times over our stay in the various Islands. We did not pull, with no engine we couldn't manage to, so we put down tons of chain and an added anchor at each stop. You beloved fellow naturists will enjoy the solution I found to this problem.
The group of yacht uses we'd most trouble with were the ones who charter their yachts, some of these people have not had plenty of expertise in Anchoring, and there's quite lots of technology to what on the surface appears a easy manoeuvre. https://www.pinterest.com/boyleleonard/ , tend not to have spent big quantity of time in close proximity to other people as in a modest yacht environment. These people are the kind which never have come face to face with bare human bodies except in some specific scenarios. In fact I found that if I appeared naked in the cockpit while I read a book and waved to the newly arriving charter yachts of an evening, they would go right around to the other side of the bay, "hey presto" problem sorted!)
