Default Capt. J.G. is wrong about using anchors.

You clearly can't read. I have already said several times that it's possible
to do that, but it is hardly ever necessary. I think you're really trying
hard to be stupid, because no one could do it as well as you so naturally.

I guess you never read the part that says "The Manual of Seamanship
for Boys and Seamen of the
Royal Navy, 1904 (a recent fathers day gift) defines kedging as follows:
“Laying the kedge anchor out
in a boat and warping ahead to it”.
Are you saying you can't kedge off a dock? Are you saying I can't row
an anchor out from a dock and
warp ahead to it? Duh! Do you know how silly you sound? I hope your just
trying to joke around. A dry
sense of humor perhaps? Quick get the captain a fire hose. Wet him down.


Cheers,
