What really aggravates me is when idiots like that use an all-chain rode.

It makes it impossible to go over the side in the dark of night with a
nice sharp knife to send them on their way . . .

This is the part I am refering to on the page.
There is more than enough room, so be mindful of others and don't wind up
directly over someone else's anchor. This has happened to us on more than
one occasion. A very large crewed charter catamaran recently sat right off
our bow, less than a boatlength in front of us. This is needless as well as
aggravating.

Cripes Cappy.... use a 3 foot bolt cutter. No sweat... one snap and they are
on their way. You should have a pair aboard any well outfitted vessel.

Well, it's certain Neal would not be able to use his biting wit.

I'm bummed out reading this. This is the first year in the last half dozen
that we are not doing the BVI thing. We've always rented cats from TMM also.

You claim to be an island sailor. Nobody that sails the islands uses anything
BUT an all chain rode. DUH ...... coral!!!

What a load of crap..... they do not all use only chain.
....and you are not permitted to drop anchor on coral! DUH!

Try to find a boat in the islands that doesn't use an all chain rode for the
primary. As far as dropping on coral goes your anchor may be in the sand but
your 100' rode may be in the coral. Your only "not permitted" in the "park"
areas. Patches of coral are everywhere.

Hey! ****ing Moron! Ever heard of BOLT CUTTERS?






Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

Yeah Right! Like I'm going to swim around a harbor with bolt cutters
that probably weigh twenty pounds.

Next thing you idiots will suggest is an ox-acetylene torch . . .
