hoary, most people on LIS anchor properly, for the anchoring conditions on LIS.
namely, a largesh Danforth on a few feet of chain and a lot of nylon. people
who anchor on LIS seldom "drag anchor".

the people I have had a problem with are those frickin lazy *******s who use
all chain (because it runs through an electric windlass easier) and often on
too short of scope and then "drag anchor" across the anchorage hitting boats
all while claiming it is "an act of god" and not their fault at all. I was
nearly hit by two such lazy *******s in twenty minutes, one of which went on to
take out a 52 foot boat behind me.

hoary, I have sailed a number of places not on LIS. In fact, my own boat is at
this moment several hundred miles away from LIS.

His "kind"? What, pray tell, do you mean by that?

his kind are the kind who purposely endanger the lives of others because
they
are too frickin lazy to anchor properly. you know, hoary, the clowns who
"drag
anchor" when in fact they purposely didn't set it correctly.


Why are you so concerned about anchoring? You've got yourself a little
puddle jumper sailboat, and I suspect you rarely leave the dock. I
sailed in Long Island Sound, too, and, other than on really stormy days,
it wasn't particularly challenging. It's not the ocean.

We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
