Actually being in a marina means that I AM there. I can wander down to the marina & sit on the boat & have a chat to the boat without worrying about getting the dinghy out, launching it, putting on wet gear & LJ, rowing out ( assuming it is not too rough,) climbing aboard, getting sea sick. then reversing the whole process. No fear of falling in, being less nimble at 75 years of age. It is one hell of a step up on to the deck. I certainly would not risk trying to get on at the stern.Most of the time your yacht is in a marina you are not there, so little benefit for the you and the family. A cat is as safe on a swing mooring, correctly sized, as a monohull and for the weekends when you visit the yacht - what is wrong with a dinghy - in fact if you keep the yacht in a marina and don't use an anchor - why have the dinghy....?
Funny world
Cannot help wondering if he is there out of choice or his echo sounder has packed up.

Seems a bit pointless just stuck on the sand like that for hours on end.
No sour grapes. I was only joking really.Do I detect a tinge of sour grapes.
We don't actually need an echo sounder - we can see the seabed and as they are not THAT accurate (to the nearest cm) we can judge when we will touch the sand.
Your props must be easier to clean than mine (though I doubt it). Easy to ream out the water intakes on the sail drives when sitting on the beach - maybe you swim to clean yours (or pay an inordinate amount to be slipped (booking the slip, accepting a time and date at the convenience of the yard, taking the yacht round at the right time, cursing that its raining). We just need to check the tides, if it rains postpone for a day, wander to the little bay, touch bottom deploy 3 anchors, have breakfast as the tide falls, watch the sea eagles fishing, marvel at the flocks of black cockatoos.
But to each his own & if caravan sailing suits one, so beit. Would not suit me for sure.
