Is it OK to throw them while at anchor?

Only if you throw them at power boats ;-)

Only when full of hardened epoxy and only at a boater of any type in
the process of being an inconsiderate ****.

All right! A non-conformist!

Not really. I can rebuild an Atomic 4, service a diesel and diagnose
marine electrical issues but have never owned a car and don't have a
licence.

When they make a diesel-electric four-door short-bed pickup, maybe
I'll be interested.

A powerful interest in one field (sailboats) does neither preclude nor
include knowledge or interest in the superset of that field (all
boating).

There's also the idea that any idiot can (and does) own a powerboat,
but it takes some basic skills to sail off a dock or mooring, anchor,
reef and keep the crew out of the margarita mix.

Man...have you missed out on the fun!




I have never thrown beer cans from my moving sailboat.
I have never swamped other boats with my wake.
I have never had so many impaired people on my bow that the boat has
submarined, killing a couple of them on its way to the bottom in a
crowded channel.
I have never opened the throttle on 225 horsepower at 6 A.M. because I
was still drunk from the night before.
I have never spilled several litres of gasoline into the water because
I had to leave the pump to put out a cigarette.
