To correct your misconceptions allow me to explain.

Both anchors "fit" the rollers just fine because the
rollers are made to fit the rode, not the anchor.

The anchors are not pinned, they are either held
by the chain in the case of the Danforth or by a
line in the case of the CQR. Even if the boat
was rotated 360 degrees neither of the three
anchors would fall off. The lines you see rolled
in a circular fashion forward are the mooring
lines and remain with the mooring when I'm
underway. The bit of chain you see on the
Danforth wraps around a bit and exits into
the chain and rode locker through a hawsepipe.

The stainless steel chain and line on the port side
attached to the plough are tied to the stanchion.

Open your eyes, please and put your brain in gear
prior to opening your mouth.

Your idea of "Bristol fashion" is to have an anchor too large for it's
roller, unpinned, unsecured; and lots of rope & chain just lying loose
on the deck?

And that's just the first glance at the first picture!

A magnificent vessel, cared for in a way that only a true sailor could do.
I'm sure others will be jealous and spit venom, but there's nothing they
could find wrong, except perhaps a misplaced line or ensign wrapped around
the staff. They will find nothing wrong in the character and essence of this
fine blue water cruiser. Well done good Capt!

Thank you. sir. Coming from a true, intelligent conservative who
knows the meaning of the word "priorities", it makes me swell
with pride in my work.

The tide has turned. Real sailors can all rejoice and celebrate
the fact that this great country of ours has returned to that
which made it great in the first place - conservative values and
a faith in the Constitution as it was written.

I beg to differ. Our forefathers were Deists, not right wing fanatics.
What we are seeing today is nothing like what our founders did, saw, or
wanted.

That's bull****. Our founders were Christians, not Deists. Their
Christianity is woven into the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

You'll figure it out.

I suggest you start with the Enlightenment and go forward from there.

That's funny, most of the Founding Fathers described themselves as
liberals.

Here here.

I find it rather sad that the the Bush Administration, far from
respecting the Constitution as it was written, seems to have no idea
what it means; those few times Constituional principles have come to be
tested, they have been angrily brushed aside.

OTOH if you like having a Vice President that not only directly profits
from a war industry, but tells people who point out the conflict of
interest to go f*** themselves, then you're in good hands. The recent
vote on DeLay's pending indictment shows the "moral values" of current
Republican leadership... I can't help but wonder if this is *really*
what all those red state people voted for.

Sorry for not only being OT but glum... more coffee and back to work...

Agreed. Our Founding Fathers, were they here today, would be plotting
against the new King George.

And, certainly one that never leaves the mooring ball.

"If there's no wind, row."

A vulgar choice of paint scheme.
To much crap on deck.
If you had been in the navy you would have been taught Bristol fashion
properly and have everything squared away properly.
