When the local boats head to and from the William Thornton bar after dark they are often going at a high rate of speed and often without running lights or a good watch keeper looking out for dinghies --- so be extra vigilant underway and keep a flashlight handy for making yourself visible quickly if needed.
A lot of these vessels are high speed, high horsepower, Go Fast hulls so even moored well away from the bar you must stay aware.
The local guys like to flirt with the tourist ladies in a very suggestive way sometimes -- that could easily be taken as offensive - don't let an alcohol buzz get you into a confrontation with a bad decision on your 1st evening out partying.Make sure the ladies in your crew are aware that wild behavior, exposing body parts for decal tattoos, or jumping off the deck naked for the famous T-shirt can invite unwanted attention as the night wears on.
