Crew Pressure
This week a catamaran ended up on the rocks in the baths.
I’m in no way judging what has happened there, or what lead to this, I do not know the full story but it’s not the first time I see something similar.
I didn’t hear about any people injured or major nature damage, this is a scary situation.
I Took this advantage to talk about a subject that puts crews, boats and nature at risks and it is Crew pressure.
It’s important to raise awareness of local knowledge and local advisories.
Read about the areas you’re sailing to (even though the no moorings when there's a red flag isn’t mentioned in the official BVI cruising guide) listen to local notices and play it safe.
I’m pretty sure that the decision to leave the boat unattended is being regretted right now, not sure if insurance will even cover it.
Don’t let crew pressure affect your decision-making to this level, stay safe, keep nature safe, and follow local regulations.
