You need a better GPS. Seriously.


No, the GPS is fine. There are things that can and do affect the
accuracy of GPS SYSTEM from time to time.

It likely that, as previously suggested, my location kept me from
getting a sufficient number of satellites.

Still I wonder why it wandered off and then back onto track. I have
never seen this unit do it before or since, and I have used it several
hundred hours.

I've found that with my GP-31 (an older unit w/o WAAS) with 2 second
position averaging that in practice the GPS makes an amazingly
accurate anchor monitor. What happens to your data when you average
pairs of your 1 hz data?


1. With a modern GPS and a well-placed antenna, GPS precision
should not be a limiting factor for anchor alarms if you
are in an area with good WAAS corrections. ...

Really, you don't even need WAAS. I've lived at anchor for years on
my boat that holds all of my possessions in remote places with little
hope of outside help if I get into trouble. I take this seriously. I
don't think you can get better relative position data from anything
short of horizontal sextant angles and I wish you well getting them in
the dark.

2. Anchor alarm radius has to account for swinging
to the anchor in normal winds ...

The anchor alarm should be based on your position from the anchor not
from the position the boat takes after anchoring. I mentioned how I
do this with my GPS in my previous post.

3. Waking to the alarm with a wind or tide change is probably
preferable to setting the alarm radius so large it
will accomodate such changes.

Your alarm should not go off unless your anchor is moving.


4. GPS anchor alarms tell you nothing about the
position of other boats in the anchorage. ...

I guess I'm lucky since I don't usually have to anchor so close to my
neighbors that this is a problem. Of course, if swinging will put you
onto a coral head or some other hazard you need to restrict your
swinging. If you need to know if the wind or tide is shifting (say
you're anchored in a roadway) you should set the anchor alarm to the
boat's position rather than the anchor's and it will tell you when you
swing.

I probably shouldn't continue with this, as my name is already mud, ya

Not a bad suggestion. And if you've bothered to read for content
rather than merely to find something to shoot at, you'd have seen that
I have done just that. However, having completed my assignment for
the day, I went back to entertaining my two lady companions.

For now, I'm considering whether I want to go out in nasty stuff (not
dangerous), flying down to Solomons, or take another day in Cambridge
and go to church, instead.

I enjoyed someone's description of this place a few weeks ago. I can t
remember the analogy but something close to, is like a bar that
doesn't close and will let anybody make a fool of themselves without
getting kicked out. I thought that was a right-on description.

Heh. So, what have you got against me doing that?? :{))


Skip asked, what kind of shakels do I use attaching road to chain,
chain to anchor.

Two words:
1) Trawlex Grade 100 chain to anchor. Theyre cheep, small, and strong
ie G100 compared to G40, an not galvanized. So I just swap it out once
a year when I inspect my ground tackle. If a 400' factory trawler uses
them to drag a 100 MT bag of Pollock out of the Bering Sea I think its
good enough for my needs.

Seriously, though - what do you use for chain (I presume what you've
described is a shackle specific to a chain usage)? And, if you use
very high tensile shackles, and swap them out, is the chain similar,
or is it more standard fare? If you have a large anchor and all
chain, do you use a windlass?

In my case, the extra strength was from SS - which I also have to look
at each time I'm up there. So far, no difficulties with either the
galvanized swivel or SS shackle - but there's always a first time...


2) Nylite thimble (Samson) road to chain connection. If you don't know
about these pretty PLEASE go to this link and take a look. The USCG
use them on OR/WA/AK life boats.http://www.samsonrope.com/site_files/cm2004.pdf
and no.... it wont go through your gypsy. But then I get a bullet
proof 95-100% connection.

Ya, they're good stuff. When I have all chain, it's not relevant.
However, your use suggests (and later below, perhaps some migration of
rode) that you have mostly rope rode - is that the case? Different
strokes for different folks, and also bottoms, so I'm not criticizing
- just curious. Of course, until you get to the end of it, other than
extremely deep anchoring, mostly rope rode is pretty easy to
manhandle, or if the boat's small enough in any case. Certainly, when
I was on anything smaller than 40', I didn't use a windlass, and it
was mostly rope, with a small length of chain, usually on a Danforth
or equivalent. And, as discussed long ago in this thread, perhaps that
would have prevented my most recent excitement - that is, if you
discount the 25* heel aground at the muni wall in Cambridge this
morning (high tide resolved that with no issue whatever) - despite my
having had what would normally have been far superior stuff (all chain
on a very large anchor). Back to thimbles...

My windlass wouldn't pass such a thimble, even if I had another
shackle between it and the chain, as its pipe is too small. However,
for the one where I do have a hawse pipe (the oval thing with a
cover), and part rope and part chain, it could work just fine, as I
have to manually lead that one, anyway. If I find myself using that
much rode (where I get into the rope portion) frequently on my
secondary, I might make that change.


And no I don't use three strand nylon for road. I use nylon double
braid. Although I might go to some of the 12 plait products soon. Very
easy/fast to splice and still get 10 percent stretch at 30% load. Oh,
and tough as nails. Oh, and CHEAPER!

There are lots of ways to do stuff. Just got to stay out of West
Marine and Cruising World.

Ehh. A Port Supply card goes a long way. But I bought my last chain
(300' 5/16HTG40) and anchor (75#CQR) someplace else for significantly
less than even Port.

OTOH, all the prior suggestions, in prior threads in years past, about
various industrial supply and chain houses, were fruitless. Couldn't
do a thing with the equivalent sizes, and gave up after trying very
hard.

So to all a sincere apology. Just don't look for a change any time
soon in my phatic conversation style.

Of course I saw Men of Honor! I grew up on Mike Nelson's Sea Hunt

all from DIT , Divers Institute of Technology in Seattle..... well,
actually Ballard,WA. Thats were I got my trade school tranining.

As for the air buzz, yes rather enjoyable side to it. The drag was

Dont know if DIT is still using the Mk V anymore. When I was there
that was the dress we used for the first week. Ugg, 196 lbs if I
remember right. THey also had one of thoes monster Mk V style gas
suits on display. Gear shure has come a long way. I used a MIller 400
in the GOM. I couldnt emagin using that navy gas rig and getting

Good to yak with you. Do you ever get a chance to blow any bubbles any

Yep... I used to have an even older serial numbered one, but it was stolen
years ago. The rubber low-pressure hoses are no good any more, but they're
still attached.

The reason I couldn't was because he used 38s not 52s. :-) FYI, he did it on
land, not just underwater... underwater is easy.

"know" so much that I expect more that can be reasonably expected.

BUT, even experienced sailors in their home turf can make mistakes.

Case in point: Last weekend, we sorta hosted a raft-up of Tanzers.
Someone else called the rendezvous, but I refined the location to the
anchorage nearest to our dock. This is an anchorage we anchored in
probably 30 days this season. (for those that know the Chesapeake, this
is Fairlee Creek.)

But, because it was after the powerboats' season, I chose to try out
just behind the sand spit, normally clogged up with "them".

'Tis a WONDERFUL spot. We could see everyone coming in the channel
through 3+ foot Chesapeake chop while we luxuriated in nearly flat
conditions on the other side of the spit. The view of the full moon
coming up was inspirational.

But, I neglected to consider what happens when 20+ knot winds shift
from southerly to northerly on the Bay. Been there before, but this
time I just didn't think about the effects of such a shift.

About 1 AM we noticed we were aground and at about 10 degree heel.

By 3 AM, that was 35 degrees by our inclinometer.

By 6 AM (with high tide at 9:30), things weren't better, so it's time
to call Towboat US. They got to us a bit before high tide and pulled
both of us off with pretty much zero problem. I don't believe he
actually dialed up to full power as we were spit like watermelon seeds
the 100 or so feet to sufficient water.

Our sister rafted up to us reported 50 degree heel, but I never saw
higher than 35 (and our mast was always further over than theirs.)

Which is part of an indication of our difference in acceptance of our
shared plight. Pat and I got pretty good sleep that night. We were
heeled over so had to sleep pretty much on the side of the boat in
separate berths, (separate berths always disturbs our sleep), but there
weren't any creaks or groans from the boat, we weren't pounding or in
any evident danger, so we slept as soundly as we normally do, waiting
for high tide.

Our sister's distaff admiral wasn't as sanguine. She was literally sick
that night, probably got no real sleep, and called for a land-ride home
the next morning. Their poor captain probably is still catching a load
of baggage from my mistake.

Oh, my primary mistake? Forgetting that anchorages can have different
bottoms and holding in different areas. I "knew" that anchorage so well
that I expected the bottom next to the sand spit to be like the rest of
the anchorage: so forgiving that I don't even bother to back down on
the anchor. any more Only after a bit of thought did I realize that an
area easily swept of all water would be hard sand rather than lots of
mud. My clue should have been no vegetation bouncing the depth
soundings to impossible shallows as I came in.

Skip doesn't appear to be shy about chronicling his screw-ups. If it

it a deep dark secret. Skip 'fesses up to his short comings.

I certainly don't tell people about the time I sailed into a bay
depending on a 50 year old survey only to discover that coral grows
quite a bit in 50 years, or the time I tried to pick up a mooring only
to discover that the "orange ball" wasn't a mooring, it was a buoy the
local fishermen put out to mark shallow water.

To quote an old saying, "there are people who have run aground, people
who are going to run aground and damned liars".

I was born a poor black child and never had TV until I bought my own

Aw, you young whippersnappers with your TV.

Let's hear it for Straight Arrow, The Shadow and the Green Hornet.

And the Fat Man, Suspense, and the Lone Ranger. My mom wouldn't let
me listen to any of them except the Lone Ranger. :-(

We could listen to Ozzie and Harriet, the Aldridge Family,
Gildersleeve, Fibber McGee and Molly and Amos and Andy.

I didn't watch TV much until after I graduated college and had
children. We didn't have a TV when we were first married (1959).

I remember Sea Hunt, but probably not like you guys do, and I also
remember Sky King. I don't think I watched either of them much. I
did watch Flipper - we had two kids by then. I also watched Captain
Kangaroo.

Wow.. that brings up memories... I couldn't get enough of Sky King.

However, now that I think about it, I used to watch Diver Dan before Sea
Hunt.

How many remember "WhirliBirds".........

I was waiting for that one!

It ran during my parents bowling nights, so I watched it at the bowling
alley.

First aired in 1961. It wasn't really a complete show. It was a series of
7
minute shorts that were aired on various other kiddy shows, same as
cartoons.
There is even a youtube of an episode at the bottom of that page.

When I hear Sky King mentioned, all I can think of is his cute niece
Penny, his
plane, Songbird, and FIG NEWTONS! lol

In the late forties, there was Sgt Preston of the Mounties and his dog King.
At that time there was another program that was the Adventures of the Sea
Hound or something like that. The schooner was named the Sea Hound and they
carried lots of toys and one was an airplane called the Air Hound.

Probably giving away my age now.

Hound??
