Lordy,wonder what that anchor line was made of?????He had to be going a
kajillion miles an hour..watch...they'll take it to a civil court and
insist it's the sailboat's fault because they didn't have red flags or
marker bouys or shapes or an nachor ball etc...displayed...

I don't know about you, but I'm going to paint my anchor
line a dull gray.

He was probably drunk. That is a typical novice/drunk thing

Two drunks in a dinghy caught my anchor line in Road Town

it two days later.
