Why two anchors?

I wasn't thinking of using it at sea. What I had in mind
was anchoring
behind Red Fish Island, with two anchors, and taking a
nap. I have one
on my Garmin chartplotter, but I think I need a backup.

Any magellian GPS will work and show movement.

If you are on anchor or stopped at sea you need someone
on watch. No if
and or butts about it.

Weather you are on anchor or tied to a rig someone needs
to be awake
and on watch.

Most new doctors get their REAL training amd mentoring

Nurses. If your wife is an RN and works in a hospital

sure she can verify that for you. Rob is correct that
many MD's are
not as capable in emergency situations as many nurses.


So that would be like "Capt Rob" learning from a real
cabin boy..right?


That doesn't


make them incompetent as Doctors. They just have
different strengths
or areas of expertise. Some plumbers may also have
carpentry skills,
and some anesthesiologists may have skills in
orthopedics. Critical
care and emergency room nurses tend to be generalists,
and are used to
making very quick and correct decisions on life and
death matters
under pressure.


Indeed they do...not a job I'd wan't to deal with. Pays
pretty good.
High burnout average and turnover. I bet it's high
stress if you have
passion towards the people you are treating. Top that
off with the
million plus people killed in Hospitals from medical
mistakes a career
wrought with stress.

IMO Rob should publish that best seller, or direct a
block buster and
provide Suzy with a less stressfull life.
