About Me

Naturism as self-defence.
In 2011 I was sailing an extremely beaten up schooner called "Gloria" around the Caribbean isles which make up the Grenadines. This schooner I'd purchased with almost the last of my money for f1500. beach freedom 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. But finally we did fetch up in St Lucia. There blondes on a beach -joined us and among the crew left.
Our next stop was the island of Bequia, the aviator novel warned that the holding for the anchor in the main bay was not too good and to be cautious of yachts pulling their anchors. Nevertheless we didn't hit anything and came to rest in a reasonably sheltered spot. Myself and friend Edmund donned snorkels and masks and dived to check said anchor, it was not dug in very well at all, so I stacked some rocks on it. Subsequently after surfacing we place another anchor out to make sure. The difficulty was that the sea bed wasn't very 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 emerging from my berth and running topsides I saw a large catamaran quite close to our bow taking evasive action. He'd clearly dragged his anchor and only managed to miss us and regain his gear before going off to try again somewhere else.
This scenario was rein acted several times over our stay in the assorted Isles. beach party didn't drag, with no engine we could not afford to, so we put down lots of chain and an additional anchor at every stop. beach girl will like the answer I found to this issue.

The group of yacht uses we had most trouble with were the ones who charter their yachts, some of these folks never have had a great deal of experience in Anchoring, and there's rather a great deal of technology to what on the surface appears a easy 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 which have not come face to face with naked human bodies except in some specific scenarios. In fact I discovered that if I seemed nude in the cockpit while I read a book and waved to the recently arriving charter yachts of an evening, they would go right over to the other side of the bay, "hey presto" problem sorted!)
