This schooner I had purchased with practically the last of my cash for f1500. One thing led to another and having little work but loads 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 island of Bequia, the pilot book warned that the holding for the anchor in the primary bay wasn't too great and to be attentive of yachts pulling their anchors. We came in during a gale power squall, complete with flat rain (warm), without an engine the manoeuvre was a trifle challenging. Yet beach freedom did not hit anything and came to rest in a reasonably sheltered place. Myself and friend Edmund donned snorkels and masks and dived to assess said anchor, it wasn't dug in very well at all, so I piled some stone on it. Afterward after surfacing we place another anchor out to make sure. The problem was that the sea bed wasn't too deep sand over coral, and also the anchor was having trouble biting.
A few nights later during another squall I had my slumber touched by the unmistakable sound of double diesels going hard astern, on coming from my berth and running topsides I saw a big catamaran quite close to our bow taking evasive action. He'd clearly pulled his anchor and only managed to miss us and regain his equipment before going away to try again someplace else.
This scenario was rein acted many times over our stay in the various Isles. We did not drag, with no engine we could not afford to, so we put down lots of chain and an additional anchor at each stop. beach party will enjoy the solution I found to this problem.
The group of yacht uses we had most trouble with were the ones who charter their yachts, many of these individuals have not had plenty of expertise in Anchoring, and there is quite lots of technology to what on the surface appears a simple manoeuvre. naturism , tend not to have spent substantial amount of time in close proximity to other people as in a modest yacht environment. blondes on a beach are the kind which have not come face to face with naked human bodies except in certain situations. In fact I found that if I appeared naked in the cockpit while I read a novel and waved to the just arriving charter yachts of an evening, they'd go right over to the different side of the bay, "hey presto" issue sorted!)
