You mean some people actually use the "parking hook"? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Its always fun when one of the 58' barges on a mooring at Cooper has a couple of dinghies on long painters. We had an interesting conversation with one - hey, 60' LOA means boat + painters + dinghy. Their dinghies were close enough for me to fend with my foot. I spoke politely with their captain, but he argued that their dinghy outboard scraping my hull would be my problem. I suggested pulling his dinghies forward would save me the trouble of hailing his charter company on 16. He complied after saying some unfriendly words.
This is just one example of why we are tired of the mooring field scrum in the BVIs.
Cheers, RickG
