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.
