I hate mud BTW, always makes a mess.

Easy fix,
Set up a salt water pump and a short hose stored in the chain locker.

Easier fix, remove your bow.

To tie up to piers? Strange!

I keep my folding grappel in the lazzerte, on deck and ready to
deploy in the channels. It's the emergency brake.


If you obeyed the Coll Regs, then you shouldn't need an " emergency"
brake!!

How many times have you deployed an anchor as the result of an emergency?

I've never been in a situation where the anchor could have averted a
difficult situation. The closest that I came was on a friend's boat when
the engine overheated in Portsmouth Harbour. We had the main up in a couple
of seconds. If we had deployed the anchor, we would have become a hazard to
other boats.

Me? never, but we were talking about Joe.

I'm glad for you. Really. But that doesn't mean it won't happen. Do you
know what the Boy Scout motto is?

What if there hadn't been any wind? with strong cross current? What if you
were like bob**** and didn't know how to sail?

more so than normal?
