In 2011 I was sailing an extremely beaten up schooner called "Gloria" around the Caribbean islands that make up the Grenadines. This schooner I had purchased with nearly the last of my cash for f1500. We had many experiences, not least was the oil pressure on the engine going AWOL. But eventually we did fetch up in St Lucia. There beach blondes -joined us and one of the crew left.Our next stop was the isle of Bequia, the aviator novel warned that the holding for the anchor in the main bay was not very good and to be mindful of yachts pulling their anchors. We came in during a gale force squall, complete with flat rain (warm), without an engine the manoeuvre was a trifle challenging. Nevertheless nudist did not hit anything and came to rest in a relatively sheltered place. beach party and friend 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. Subsequently after surfacing we put another anchor out to make sure. The difficulty was that the sea bed was not 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 double diesels going hard astern, on coming from my bunk and running topsides I saw a big catamaran very close to our bow taking evasive action. He had clearly dragged his anchor and just managed to miss us and recover his equipment before going off to try again someplace else.This scenario was rein acted several times over our stay in the assorted Islands. nudist didn't pull, with no engine we couldn't manage to, so we put down lots of chain and an additional anchor at every stop. You dear fellow naturists will like the solution I found to this issue.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 experience in Anchoring, and there's rather lots of technology to what on the surface appears a simple manoeuvre. These people, tend not to have spent big quantity of time in close proximity to other people as in a tiny yacht environment. These people are the kind that haven't come face to face with bare human bodies except in certain situations. In fact I discovered that if I appeared nude in the cockpit while I read a book and waved to the just arriving charter yachts of an evening, they would go right over to the different side of the bay, "hey presto" issue sorted!)
