Holiday Shopping Tips

From 'Muay Thai: Beyond the Ring"  - a look at holiday shopping and parking lot safety.

Many good points brought up, many applicable to all parts of our lives - not just during the holiday season.

One point to add  -if caught up in a flash mob of sorts, you may have to act the part of a mob member, to go with the flow of the crowd. Then move to the side and disengage from the flow of the crowd. Use guile and deception to get yourself to a position of safety.

Be safe this season, and always.

New resource for readers of the Blog

Piracy and Port Safety - a nice introduction to the topic.

Even better are the free cruising guides offered at the site, and the other informative articles.

Highly recommended for readers here to take a look. Comment me and let me know what you think.

Found this photo labeled as 'Crewing on OPB (Other People's Boat)' - thought it appropriate.

Variety of articles

Just some articles I came across in my research.

1. Cruiser attacked in Pago Pago - about halfway down the page, I found the link through the Latts and Atts forum. Seems a 70 yr old cruiser was attacked on his boat by two 20 yr olds.....

2. Grey Pearl Blog - for some interesting news out of Singapore and the Malacca Straits.

3. Babes and Guns - for a light-hearted look at things, to remind us all is not terrible. The blog has some great scenery every few days, letting you take a mental vacation to far away, tropical islands.

Just some random images from various blogs. Enjoy the holiday season.

Spate of Burglaries

From Noonsite - some news about Admiralty Bay, Bequia.

Take the same precautions, in general, that you would at home. Lock your doors and windows when you leave, watch out for your neighbors ( as in mutually looking after each other), and maybe consider using an alarm system before you are a victim.
