You've been nothing but snooty to me today. What's wrong? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? :-)
But, I forgive you. No, not for your silly statement about the *anchor thing*. BTW it's called *kedging*.
So you're wrong about using anchors for kedging off docks and so forth.
Maybe you should click this link: http://www.nsc.ca/nsc_library/techta...te_kedging.htm
As you can see captain, it's a time honored tradition. How do you think they got boats off docks before
motors were invented? Did they wait until the wind was right? Maybe you should Google "kedging". You'll
see how it's valuable to know about it.
Anchors aren't just for anchoring.

Cheers,
Ellen

Who gives a sh*t. Kedging is used by those who know when to use it and when
not to use it. You don't need to kedge off a dock to get going 99.999% of
the time.

Nothing in the link provided describes kedging so you can sail away from a
dock.

If you want to discuss running aground and how to deal with that, feel free,
but to use your anchor to leave a dock is not something that should be
considered without a lot of forethought. I suppose you're going to swing it
over your head and then throw it like the hammer throw in the Olympics? What
a joke.

You feel compelled to call anyone you don't like a fag or worse. You
contribute nothing to this group any more. You're just a pathetic little
man, who can't get past his anger. Very sad. We should all feel sorry for
you... I do.

I guess you never read the part that says "The Manual of Seamanship for Boys and Seamen of the
Royal Navy, 1904 (a recent fathers day gift) defines kedging as follows: “Laying the kedge anchor out
in a boat and warping ahead to it”.
Are you saying you can't kedge off a dock? Are you saying I can't row an anchor out from a dock and
warp ahead to it? Duh! Do you know how silly you sound? I hope your just trying to joke around. A dry
sense of humor perhaps? Quick get the captain a fire hose. Wet him down.


Cheers,
Ellen

Now go easy on him... we wouldn't want him to pop a gasket.
