People anchored to close?

[Ray Purchase]

A £10 quid fix.

Hang a set of bagpipes in lieu of an anchor ball?

What is it but you don’t look at anchor.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

It’s a harmonica. Presumably makes an unholy row as the wind blows.

Or when someone picks it up and purports to play it.

If some one comes close to me , I put the Pistols album on loud.

That's ok, we like a party

If you can get through the floating mines it’s free beer.

Hang a set of bagpipes in lieu of an anchor ball?

A gentleman knows how to play the bagpipes, but chooses not to.

 

[Bilgediver]

Might keep the crew on board awake too.

That would have been rebellious 50 years ago, now it’s fond memories.
You would need to blast out some Drill or RipSaw or whatever it is the Youth of Today now play to antagonise their elders

I believe that Mozart is very effective at scaring away the uncivilised.

Having a mobo with jet ski also keeps peeps away

Is Mozart that spray paint scrawl on council garage doors?

So where did you end up anchoring after hearing that.

No that is wan-zee.

I appreciate the sentiment, but my first mate used to play classical music cds during primary school lessons when unruly monsters needed calming down, she said it had a remarkable knack of soothing the savage beast.

 

[Petertheking1982]

I remember a council initiative to stop the youth loitering was to play classical music at their preferred hangouts. It worked. Can't remember where it was though.

The photo in the OP has appeared in my FB feed. According to the blurb the perpetrators have been sailing around with it for a while because they enjoy the noise, showing that there is no accounting for people’s tastes.

We anchored not very close to an American cat last night. The skipper (captain in American) came on deck announcing that he’d got 150’ of chain out (we were anchored in 7 or 8 metres of water. He then asked if I’d ever anchored in that spot before. I thought about ignoring him as we were never going to swing anywhere near him but decided it was easier to move to another part of the bay. Choose your battles I say.
We actually ended up in a VERY calm and sheltered spot.

If you’re interested where it is and what it looks like:



As we made our way here every charter boat cat we passed came on deck to watch where we were going and what we were doing (and if I’m paranoid to check we weren’t ’anchoring too close’. )

Where can I buy some bagpipes?
