Incident Details: A yacht owner was awakened when he heard sounds against the hull at 0445HRS on his first night in Chatham Bay. He found two males had come alongside in a small unpowered boat with padded gunwales, near the bow where the dinghy had been stored overnight on deck. He began yelling and they quickly rowed away, offering no explanation for their presence. The captain alerted the other 12 or so yachts in the anchorage by VHF and by ringing the yachts bell.
