Does anybody know of a GPS with improved features for anchor watch?. I am
currently using a Garmin 128, which has the limitation that the center of
the circle being monitored cannot be manually positionned at will, but will
coincide with the position of the boat at the time the anchor watch
function is triggered.. As ideally, the center of the circle should be on
the anchor position, it is then desirable to think of triggering the anchor
watch function as the anchor is dropped...which is easily neglected or
forgotten!

Thanks in advance,

Sorry to be naive Robert but I would suggest the opposite (as I usually
do:-))

You do want to be told when the wind or tide etc swing you round the
other way, that's when the anchor is most likely to pop out.

Once you're sure the anchor has reset itself etc then you can reset the
anchor watch for the new position & relax.

Been busy today so I'll keep the Krause lie of the day short.

This lying simpleton, after it became clear he was losing a thread
where he was displaying his usual lack of patriotism much less gratitude
for the brave men & women out there risking their
everything, to keep the likes of him safe, he just reverts to type.

But seriously can you imagine this uneducated union thug now claims he
is reviewing universities!!! & wait for it he poo poos the engineering
course!!! this from a lying uneducated union thug who couldn't use a
toaster without a union authorised electrician in attendance.

I've included just one of the followup responses but it was such a bald
faced lie it even embarrassed the rejoinders:-)



I have visited West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy and
the sub training facility at Groton. Some years ago, I actually did look
over descriptions of some of the course material at Annapolis and the
c.v.'s of some of the faculty. I'm sure the engineering course material
is fairly rigorous, though it is more "trade-oriented" and did not look
up to MIT or CalTech standards. I mean, if your goal is to be an
aeronautical engineer, you're going to get better training at MIT or
CalTech or at any of a large number of other engineering schools. I
thought the faculty academic credentials no better than what is found at
a typical smaller four year public university. The military academies
turn out military officers with an education, not highly educated
military officers. But that is their purpose, eh?

The above paragraph is a classic.
