Blog reader David on Neverland has the following comments on our hostile Indian attack. I thought that I would share them with you. Perhaps you have some suggestions of your own, just email them along please.

Perhaps flying a "First Nation" (Canadian for native lands and peoples) courtesy flag might deflect some aggression. It looks the same as the Canadian flag, but the maple leaf is replaced by a profile view of the head of a native man in full head-dress. http://www.allstates-flag.com/fotw/flags/ca-fnat.html#firstflag

Acting as if you are enjoying the shower (it's only water) could certainly deflate their fun, after all, they have to get wet too and pay for the gas to have their fun.

Maybe you should practice your lasso technique and then when when they get too close, you rope one, drag him behind the boat til the aggression is out of him, then cut him loose. I'm sure roping skills would garner some respect from natives.(pure non-productive fantasy).

How about having a fishing rod(s) and casting a line(s) (tiny lead sinker, no hook) into their path or create a spider web of deterance around the boat, and let them tangle themselves up in it. Who knows, maybe it would get sucked into the jets on their machine.

In the end, the best revenge is being able to wave goodbye, wish them peace, and move on to a more peaceful location. They're stuck in the world they create, fortunately, you're not.

Happier sailing,
David
