While I agree full heartedly with Mike to most of his advice the Vendors (aka boat boys) are generally a great bunch. Granted on St. Vincent they can be a real pain and also pulling into Clifton on Union they can be overly aggressive. If you look like you know what your doing and look’s as though you know where you want to end up a simple gesture will wave them off. The most aggressive I’ve seen are in Clifton. They want to sell you their mooring which is probably an old outboard or engine block with a piece of aged poly attached to an oil bottle. You’d be better off anchoring on the middle reef than to trust those. In most other anchorages the “boys” are trying to offer a service. Whether fresh bread in the AM or a BBQ on shore, maybe even some fresh fish that you’d wish you’d had caught. When approached just give them a fist bump and a wave off till you get settled. Listen to their offer when everyting cool mon. You might be surprised. The Dines are still one of my favorites.
