In 2011 I was sailing a very beaten up schooner called "Gloria" around the Caribbean isles which make up the Grenadines. This schooner I had purchased with nearly the last of my money 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 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 wasn't very good and to be mindful of yachts pulling their anchors. Nevertheless we didn't hit anything and came to rest in a reasonably sheltered place. Myself and buddy Edmund donned snorkels and masks and dived to check said anchor, it wasn't dug in very well at all, so I piled some stone on it. Afterward after surfacing we set another anchor out to make sure. The problem was that the sea bed was not so deep sand over coral, and also the anchor was having trouble biting.
A couple of nights later during another squall I 'd my slumber disturbed by the unmistakable sound of twin diesels going hard astern, on coming from my berth and running topsides I saw a sizable catamaran very close to our bow taking evasive action. He'd clearly dragged his anchor and only managed to miss us and retrieve his gear before going away to try again somewhere else.
This scenario was rein acted many times over our stay in the many Islands. We didn't drag, with no engine we could not manage to, so we put down tons of chain and an additional anchor at every stop. Nevertheless, after we got hit by two yachts one night at exactly the same time, I resolved to find a solution to this issue. https://www.pinterest.com/faberchappell/ will like the solution I found to this problem.
The group of yacht uses we'd most trouble with were the ones who charter their yachts, many of these folks haven't had a lot of expertise in Anchoring, and there's rather a lot of technology to what on the surface appears a simple manoeuvre. These people, tend not to have spent substantial quantity of time in close proximity to other people as in a modest yacht environment. These individuals are the type that never have come face to face with naked human bodies except in some specific scenarios.
