It is unfortunate that the great and powerful mind of that
Master Mariner
Capt Neal is not here to contribute further on this
subject. I am certain
that he would add brilliant insight.

3rd, you should have jumped in and swam out

...swam out with the anchor...?
Easy - you just a cushion or pfd for flotation.

Oh, c'mon. You manly men wouldn't have any problem at all. You'd grab that
45# CQR, plop in on your hairy chest, and backstroke out a hundred yards.

Oh sure, the anchor itself is no problem. It's the 20 yards
of chain that's the problem... stuff keeps getting tangled
in your legs as you're swimming....

There is nothing childish about what i posted, You might not agree with it
but that's Your problem. If anything about this subject is childish it is a
woman who thinks she's gods gift to men and deserves special treatment just
because she's female.

OK...after reading his explanation of the history of sailing in his
family, I addend this. WHen you take her sailing, don't ask her to do
anything. Make her as comfortable as possible. Have a bottle of wine
on board. A boc of chocolates, a good book. Ig things get dicey, don't
get mad. Just clear the decks and do what has to be done. And get your
engine fixed so it never happens again. DON'T not take her sailing when
she asks. Take fer, grit your teeth, and think of the benefits that
might come from being pleasant for the day.

Oh sure I'd bet You'd like that, being treated like royalty I suppose is
what You expect from men just because You're a female. With that type of
attitude the captain ought to throw your ass overboard. You ever hear the
word teamwork? Just like a marriage sailing is a team thing but I doubt
You
comprehend that.


Please take your childish ranting elsewhere!

What a real man would have done is walk over to the wife, pull her
shirt/shorts off, bend her over, give her a good one. Then say "get the
anchor bitch, we seem to be hard aground".

And that I guess would explain your present relationship with the
inflatable Paris Hilton?

I hate it when all my chest hair get caught up in the anchor chain. That's
why I carry the chain in my teeth and the anchor in one hand when I swim out
to set it. To make sure I don't expend any unecessary effort trying to stay
down while setting the anchor I wear 85lbs of diver's weights. I don't
understand why any manly man would use an anchor to kedge the boat when its
aground. Why not just swim under the boat and lift it up and push it out?

You could cut the testosterone here with a knife.

Mine's a 24v windlass, but unfortunately it won't hold all
20 yards of chain.

Only about 18
