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.

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.
