Sure thing... I'm just kidding.

Even left a bunch of Corona:0) But it's easy to tear and punch holes in anything when you just brush against the corners of a jack -up Rig. Aluminum crewboat's cut-up like butter. You do not tie to jack-up's or and rig to pleasure fish, you tie to production platforms. This is a small jack-up but it show the corner of the legs and the dreaded jacking teeth. They just launched 3-4 500 ft Jack-up buildt in Singapore this year. http://www.ocsbbs.com/AOC%20Offshore...0Collapse2.jpg Joe -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "JimC" wrote in message y.com... Joe wrote: Capt. JG wrote: You don't need an anchor light in a designated anchorage, although it's a good idea. You don't need someone on watch if you're confident of your anchoring and conditions are mellow. I have to dis-agree with you Jon. When I say at sea I mean in the Gulf of Mexico here. It's easy to have shallow enough water to anchor as far out is 15-25 miles in places. Under 100 ft for me, I only carry 325 ft of chain. I'm less worried about dragging anchor than getting run down by a commerical vessel. If you do drag, or lose your anchor all together with a 6 kt current could carry 48 miles in 8hrs with a fair chance of hitting a platform. We normally tie to a platform offshore, or use field bouys. Platform it's a must. any shift in weather can put you into the legs ect. Myself I can not sleep easy with no one on watch, even on my own boat. Now if you were inland in a cozy cove it's a totally different story. Joe, are you saying you tie up to one of the oil platforms, and if so, how do you keep your boat from swinging into parts of the platform when currents change? (Might be hard on the mast.) Or, do you only do this when you maintain a watch to monitor the situation continuously? Somehow I don't think my little boat would fare as well in that kind of situation as Red Cloud, built of reinforced stainless steel of course. Jim Jim |

Like starting tomorrow and coming back Monday.... or going out on Sunday for a short sail and doing the same thing on Monday? Man it must just suck to sail the same area day in and day out... surrounded by buildings in a dirty harbour. Don't you get tired of it? I mean really. No matter how much a person loves sailing..... doing the same thing in the same location day after day must be nauseating after a while. I'm heading to the Mahone Bay Classic Boat Festival next Thursday. We'll go to Rogue's Roost and overnight then catch the morning breeze to East Ironbound and on into Mahone Bay. It's a short trip... about 50 nautical miles. We'll get some ocean time and pass by Peggy's Cove on the way. I've done the trip dock to dock in 5 hours during a gale.... but I'm expecting to take my time, do some fishing enroute and get there in about 8 hours. CM Was Peggy's Cove the place that had the gun-powder ship exploded and destroyed the town? You trolling or stopping to fish? What are you fishing for? Joe |
