Capt. JG said "You need to get past the anchor thing. It's not going to help you much."


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.

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.

While you may not use it often or ever, using an anchor
to get off a dock is one way to distinguish the breath of
knowledge of a sailor. As CM stated, you don't need an
engine to get off a dock. If you have an engine and it fails,
you still have the option of using an anchor to get off a dock.
That is seamanship.

You clearly can't read. I have already said several times that it's possible

I never said otherwise. I could also kedge off a building or piling if that
made sense. It rarely does in the situation you described. You didn't say
what is the one option you want to hear. You ask an open-ended question
about how one should do it. I answered, and I answered correctly. Sure, you
can use an anchor. You can also use another boat, a building, a piling, or
if you're Jesus, you could walk on water while towing the line and boat with
you. The later ways are not common nor usually necessary. Knowing the best
technique and attempting to apply it is a lot more sailorly than trying to
do something without thinking it through. How do you plan on kedging if
you're alone at the dock? None of the people who have touting this anchoring
technique have yet to say. I'm still waiting.
