[PUP] Pirate Pot and alarms

inside alarm and loud outside alarm.  Hopefully, the noise will
accomplish the same thing a dog would and give me a few extra minutes
to prepare before they are actually on board.>

We tried a couple of the different type detectors. Seems that they aren't up
to the motion of swinging at anchor, differing water temperatures and waves.

Again noise isn't much of a deterrent. Look at how folks just walk by car
alarms today. However what ever type of detector you have if it triggers a
barking dog sound you'll have a deterrent. Go try it sometime.
Next time a friend comes to the door set it off and see if they don't back
off instantly ;-)

Nobody likes big bad dogs except the owners.

As always YMMV
