getting a bit anoyed.

[Uricanejack]

I keep my boat on a public dock for the winter and on my own mooring for the summer. unless I am of somewhere.
I wintered rafted outside so I could come and go. came and went a few times.
My neighbor was a quiet type, Salty old long keel ketch, lots of spare anchors and chain cleats and lines.
I'm a bit quiet to so not a lot of small talk. how you doin, nice day, a bit about where we've been where we might go.

I work away so came home for departure day.
One of the last to leave. my neighbor gone. all fine and dandy. Cept my boat is tied up by my Jib sheets and the furling line. All my lies are gone.

left a message through the Harbour Master.
Apparently my lines and his were the same color.
Asked if he could drop them off. at the HM.

Well it was a few weeks ago, still no lines, off to work now.
Getting a wee bit grumpy.

I can make new ones in half an hour but getting to a chandler to get some rope takes me a day.
Bought a couple of those premade ones in a bag from local store to get by.
I know they were the same color but he must have figured at least a couple might be mine.
At least I still have my fenders.

Time to tell your former neighbour that if he doesn't return your property you will treat it as theft and report it to the police.

Now you know how he got all those "spare anchors and chain, cleats and lines"

I arrived to my boat at the mooring the other day and noticed that one of the two lines that are attached to the buoy had disapeared and one of the genoa sheets had been used to replace it.What I don't understand is why anyone would bother to steal a three meter long piece of manky old rope and then go to the troble of retying the boat with the sheet.Stealing one of the sheets would have made much more sense.In fact one of my genoa seets was stoilen a few years ago.
