Don't worry, in time you'll reach that level. Baby steps first...



You've got it backwards, Gilly. Implementing gear is the final level.
Proper anchoring is simple.

Someone once said it was easier than operating a BBQ.


I was just too tired and hadn't encountered
the "slapping" before.

That's odd, I thought you regularly encountered a good slapping or two.

Keep us posted on your backwards hiarchy of anchoring technique!

Just keep giving me the material and I'll do the best I can.



One last question, how do you know it was waves slapping against the swim
platform (waves travelling against the wind) and not just the boat slightly
rocking and creating slapping noise due to poor aft end design?
