reading this anchor in the few "Special Ancorages" that are available as
most of them are very exposed to wind and sea and generally exist for the

Bull kwap nonsense, most of them are mooring fields.

What in God's world is a "mooring field?" I know what a mooring is, it
is something you tie a boat to when you don't want it to go away, and
I know what a field is, it is a place to grow hay to feed the cattle
when the show is six feet deep. But I'll be damned if I can figure out
what a mooring field is. A field to tie up a boat in? Seems redundant,
if it is in a field why do you need to tie it up? It is on solid land.
Is this some of this modern english that us old farts don't
understand? Heh man! Cool! Righteous!

It is things like this (and Hillary) that make me glad I don't live
there any more.
