Isn't that related to size of vessel? I can't remember and

it's late here.

Technically you should show an anchor ball, right?

If the holding is good and you're only going to be

there a
short time, and
it's during the day, you don't need an anchor light,

and
you don't need to
keep a watch. Why two anchors? Is the bottom that lousy

or
the wind/current
shifting that much? How did you deploy?

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.

not as capable in emergency situations as many

So that would be like "Capt Rob" learning from a

real

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.
