What is an anchor for?
 

To my way of thinking..an anchor is to secure a boat to the bottom of
the sea in such a way that it stays there as long as the crew of the
ship wants to be there. If the ship is dragging the anchor, proper
seamanship suggests that the gear be reset until it holds..anything
else is not what the man wants.
Tom..and I have dragged a few times

Gotta think a bit more out of the box. An anchor is to do whatever the
vessel owner wishes to do through use of the device. Most commonly it's
used
to secure the boat to the bottom of the sea, but where is it written that
all other uses are proscribed?

By virtue of the use of the thing, it is labeled as such: if used to kedge
off it is called a kedge, if used as a bower it is called a bower, if used
as a deck ornament (as in a chromed or stainless version) it is called a
deck ornament, if used as a warp ballast when towing warps it is called warp
ballast.

In other words, the use defines the name of it. It rightly should be called
an anchor only if it is used as an anchor. Take your brain for example.
Since it is used primarily to fill the empty space in your skull it is
called fill! Only if it is demonstrated it can think can it be rightly
called a brain.

Think out of the box, please . . .

I met a few instructors like you..... all assholes. THe only reason
they teach is to have a audience to stroke their ego. You go around
making remarks how stupid and inept the students are so you sound so
important, needed, and capable.

You say the dumb ones take the anchor.... thats you ignorant
assessment. But the most revealing about your arrogance and ignorance
is using the word TEACHING. You dumb **** it aint about teaching its
about how best do people LEARN. Ya gotto know how people LEARN but

Good lord Bob you need to toss that chip off yer shoulder.

Just cuz the instructor (learner) at yer lifeboat class put you on
mail buoy watch, or sent you for 50 ft of waterline and you fell for
it hook, line and anchor is no need to be so sensitive.

Some instructors use humor as a teaching tool. In the military
instructors often pick out the weakest person and highlight his short
comings to inspire the others to help him get up to speed, or get him
out of the class. Did they always Pick on U?

U shud wander the railroad tracks sum more and think about why you
are so angry and sensitive.

You need to grab dem easily impressed 20s girls, and yall all can go
hang out on the docks and scream, swoon and fill yer autograph books.
Just do a bunch more crab boat groopie stuff. Never mind that "easily
impressed" is code for fat ugly and stupid. Just have more fun.

Maybe another tug boat ride, see if the Captain will let you honk his
horn.

Have another fun day and come tell us about it widt da video at 8.

Let me guess, you are 60 something doddler who thinks he's a know it

A regular Capt. Kangaroo
At your ripe old age you would be a high risk on deck, a danger to the

Sorry Bob, but you are a few decades too late.

I suggest you look for an occupation that better suits your ability
and advanced nautical skills.
Find a career where you can easily impress the girls.
