Sucks. The only way to avoid that theft would be to take it out of the water or sleep on it with proper deterrent.

Reminds me of a older woman that moved to Costa Rica to be with her boyfriend. She needed to make a living so she bought an expensive boat that she
could charter out. She was aware of the theft possibilities so she hired a watchman to be there when they weren't.
Well, one night the boat goes missing and the watchman ends up with a bump on his head. The boat was never recovered.
So for a living she stated baking banana bread...
It was some really tasty banana bread to !
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

That’s an amazing idea. I’ve had boats pull the anchor and drift off during the night a few times. Pretty freaky waking up and not seeing a boat
where it should be. Especially when you are on an island.

it'll be safer when the new La Escalera Nautica marina is completed....you'll be able to chain your boat to the dock and there'll be 24 hour guards
standing watch.

The term "Anchor Watch" might apply here. Skippers have been known to make certain hands stand them outside the wheelhouse. Falling down tends to
keep you alert. Running em up the beach although a pain when the tide drops seems to work at the coops up and down the pac coast. Since Alphonsinas
lacks a decent ramp maybe some of the guys could go together and get a tractor. That 20/20 hindsight deal.

Today almost every boat in the Indian Ocean has "anti-pirate" measures in place, moving or docked!
