Shocking experience weighing anchor.

A few years ago while cruising, I was weighing anchor, and when I got to the chain (no windlass then) I was shocked, not by what was on the hook, but as in electrical shock. I dropped it and pulled it in again with the same shocking results. It wasn't a killing shock, and as the hook was clear of the bottom, I motored off enough with the hook in the water to be sure I didn't pick up a live cable, then hauled it aboard, getting shocked as I did it. Before I tell the cause, any guesses? K We can wait until you decide to 'fess up. -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.tripod.com |
