Stupid person, indeed. It makes no sense at all to use
hundreds of amperes in order to run high-pressure pump
in order to wash mud off anchor chain when anchor chain
is just not ever necessary.
You do go on, don't you. High pressure pump? A simply 12 volt water
pump. About $100, most places.
One has a choice of anchorages. There is NEVER an instance
when one HAS to anchor on coral heads. As a matter of fact
it is stupid and irresponsible to anchor in coral areas.
Why do you say that? Nearly every bay in S.W. Thailand has coral in
it. Some times a great deal more then expected :-(
The attitude that a sailor has a right to destroy coral
with chain needs to be challenged as it is not only
irresponsible but CRIMINAL.
Get a glue, asshole!
You must come from a place where coral is rare. Here it is as common
as dirt.
