Back in a second...where did I put those bungees? Done. Now, I have to ask, if
halyards clanging against masts are such an issue, perhaps marinas are not the
best place to spend one's leisure time...
To the point of violating the sanctity of the vessel, I generally agree, keep
off other's boats unless invited.
However, there are no absolutes: there are plenty of exceptions to every
generality. For example I recently called the marina, then added springs (mine)
to a boat moored next to me; her bow was pounding into the wharf on the flood.
The vessel was not in any danger, but the shiny gelcoat on the new Bayliner
was. The owner, who I had met once, rarely visited the boat and was
appreciative of my actions, especially as he has just listed the boat for sale,
unscathed.
