Our friends with a trawler have a set-up where he can't even see the
anchor from the helm and he has to yell at his wife when to let it go.
It is electric though.

My wife does not like being yelled at. So we got a pair of those dinkly
little walky-talkies that have about a half mile range. Motorola. Really cool.

More than being yelled at, I hate yelling at him and having to repeat
everything. We are both a little deaf, so we use hand signals.
(middle fingers not included although sometimes when the hand signals
get more vigorous I know he is yelling). Walkie talkies do not work
for either of us.
