I have an anchor and chain and line.
Is this how to calculate the length of the line
Chart reads 5' add 3' to the deck add local tide data 9.7' total of 17.7
multiply by 5 gives 88'. This seems like a lot and will make a very large
circle if the wind changes.
Thanks Peter

Sounds about right... what's wrong with making a change if the wind
does indeed change? Nothing is going to remain constant except change.
