How Many Anchors Part II
 

On Alien we now carry three anchors; Small Danforth (Minimum size for the boat
and used mostly as a lunch hook), Oversized Danforth for overnighting/weekend
cruising, Bruce anchor-Untested thus far.
I was always told that it's best to carry a spare anchor and of course some
situations can require two. I see that Loco only carries one and I see that
most powerboaters carry no spare.
Besides Loco, is there anyone else here with just one anchor???

Does Scotti Potti's wife count?


Now, now! Like any sensible fellow, I'm trying to leave his wife alone!

Most of us don't "carry" the anchor on the coach roof though Bob! ;-)

Mooron must be quite bored. This is a guy who stays home when his radio warns
of rain...by his own admission!
Meanwhile, our C&C 32 has a proper anchor locker. You must be thinking (???) of
Ghost, which came to us with her anchor chocks aft of the mast. Strange, but it
never caused a problem. Better than carrying from bow hangers and easier than
dragging it from a cockpit locker.

BTW - Ghost is for sale. I saw an ad for it in Windcheck.

Yup, I saw it as well. The owner's kids and wife just couldn't handle it. Hope
she finds a new home soon.

Only one reason why a new owner would be selling that fast. They found major
problems.

Best of all would be deployable from the bow rollers and sufficent
chain/rode stored in the anchor locker!

Even in the bay people have been known to anchor. Really, Moron. Do better than
this or we won't even get properly started.

My last sail was 32 degrees Celsius and 15 kts wind in glorious warm

Is it policy to carry and deploy anchors from the coach roof in the LIS?

Poor Mooron! He actually thinks someone would deploy an anchor from mid-deck!
Does he fly his spin from the locker?

Bwahahahahahaha!

Well below your abilities Bob.... frankly I expect a higher platform of
execution from you.

I'd say the winner hands down was when you reported on your "Big Trip" and
gave us all hours of delight in pointing out the plethora of incompetence
and inept actions. Truly a Gem!

Never mind the "Taming of Binary Bill"....

Humble? Don't even know what trip report you're talking about. I just posted
one last week when we had virtually no winds going to Cold Spring Harbor.

I'm drivin' 5 hours to the job site tonight. Then it's 5 -12 hour days!

Bob.. you go and sail once more in the LIS! It must be getting awfully old
to sail the same waters.

Yeah I'm workin' for a livin'.... it's in a national park! The view is
spectacular. The pay is good.

You realise that I cover more water just moving my boat around to seasonal
anchorages & moorings than you cover in a week of sailing...... Notice the
water I sail in is Blue! ... yours is gray green and brown.! Disgusting!

Let's not play that game Bob.... you know darned well which trip I'm
referring to! It's not like you've done very many overnight passages or
extended bay sailing.

LIS is probably a very interesting place to sail, a lot of nice places you
can cruise to in a relatively short time, problem is, Bob never does.

No, Mooron. People who like to sail actually enjoy the sailing for itself. If
you feel the need to be anywhere else perhaps you don't like the sailing as
much.
