In a nutshell, I have been invited by a friend to do about a month-long sailing/diving adventure in the
Eastern Caribbean. We will start in
Nassau & wend our way down, finishing in
Antigua. He has purchased a 30' sailboat, & a small runabout. His plan is to moor the
boat in sheltered areas, then use the runabout to traverse to dive locations. My problem is there will be no one on the sailboat ( or the runabout ) while we are off
diving.
It would be possible to tow the smaller craft with us ( we plan shallow dives only - no deeper than 60' ). My main worry is the sailboat & all our possessions therein - do I have cause for concern? Seems to me that anyone could come along & help themselves! Regrettably, my faith in my fellow humans extends only so far.
My friend has sailed/dived the
Caribbean for years & assures me that leaving the
boat unattended is not an issue, but I would appreciate other experienced
Caribbean Sailor's opinions.
I than you in advance for your kind assistance.
