I dunno, I'd call kedging a type of warping, but that's a
technicality.

Kedging is not a type or warping.

When I operated my vessel with no auxiliary.... I found that the
use of the
anchor as a kedge was one of the most beneficial methods to leave a
dock.
You simply row the anchor out and pull the vessel to it..... no
warps, no
muss, no fuss. Mind you a crewmember does come in handy unless you
are
prepared to run the anchor rode back to the cockpit winch to
facilitate
retrieval after raising sail. If you think out your situation you
can come
up with an effective method to achieve your goals.

Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work, to me.

Nobody was born knowing how to maneuver a heavy boat. We all have to
learn. In fact, I'd go so far as to say we all have more to learn...
some more than others, of course ;)

Now Doug, don't be too hard on Mooron, after all, he doesn't get to
sail too much anymore.

Next thing you know the pair of you will try telling me how a boom vang can
support a greater payload on the boom than a topping lift!

Two of your's would contain less alcohol than the one that I wouldn't buy!

Your beer is absolute rubbish. What the hell is the point in being a
superpower, if you have such crap beer?

For example, you don't know how far you need to push the brake pedal
to slow
your auto down.... your foot knows. If you don't believe me try
using your
left foot on the brake - and see what happens! Make sure that you
aren't
going too fast when you try this.

Your foot has it's own brain?

Maybe my foot is brighter than your brain.


Mine has to send a signal to the brain
in my head.

Mine doesn't. Therefore my foot is definitely brighter than your brain.

I guess your foot brain is quicker on the stops.

My foot doesn't have a brain. I bet that your's does!


Ah ha hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You two owe me a beer!

I've sent a pint of Guinness in the post. It should reach you next
Tuesday!

You are not allowed to drink it until you put up your mast.
