This subject comes up periodically on this board so here is yet another reminder to secure your dingy. Many charter companies may not insure the dingy and even if they do, you are going to lose a day or two getting a new one. http://www.bviplatinum.com/news.php?articleId=27567

The cat we just chartered had its dingy stolen the week before from Cane Garden Bay. The police called the boat cell phone while we were on the boat and advised the dingy was recovered from where else but, Smugglers Cove

Thing is, even when caught the thieves don't get punished. A couple years ago a kid was caught with a string of 4 stolen dinghies. His 3rd arrest for dinghy theft and released with only an admonishment from the judge to "get your life straight."
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

I asked for a lock and cable for the dingy and the charter company I used said no need as "no one wants our motors". I think next time I bring my own cable and lock. Just feel safer and sleep better.
