MAD1025	Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2015 7:12 pm    Post subject:  Dingy Security Started sailing the BVI 20 years ago but have not been down for eight years. I never worried about locking up the dingy in the BVI but other islands yes. Have things changed so that I should make sure the motor and dingy is locked up when we leave the dingy for extended periods and at night? Thanks for the insight. Matt
