You are in a 40 something boat, power or sail makes no difference,

anchor. * The combination of chain and anchor weigh about 150 pounds
not counting the large mud ball that wants to come up also, easily 200
pounds total. * The chain and anchor are worth something over $1500
and not easily replaced in remote locations.

The problem: *The anchor windlass has failed in some unfortunate way,
and not easily repaired. * How do you retrieve your expensive anchor
and chain?

You'll notice that Larry never once acknowledged his statement "cut and
run" was fundamentally wrong. You'll also notice that I gave a rather
complete solution to this question, and all the "men" have refused to
comment on it, even the "expert" Wayne.

I did respond. *I just don't monitor this group all day long like some
misfits.

So sorry for the lack of a response. *Maybe this pathetic "reminder"
will elicit one.

Maybe you'll finally admit that you lied when you claimed you never said
cut and run. Still waiting... why not be a man and admit it?

You are a man, right? That's what you're claiming?

Of course I said it. *You have chosen to use it out of context and I'm not
playing that silly game.

You used it in context with respect to not being able to retrieve the
anchor.... cut and run was your solution. You're a liar when claiming
otherwise.

Sorry, this is Frogwatch

A vacation house is certainly a lot more appealing than a vacation boat,
unless the boat is a 90-footer, with lots of space, real bathrooms, real
bedrooms, a real kitchen and plenty of room to stretch out, *and* a
maintenance crew. A few days aboard any smaller boat is enough for me.

A pathetic, sorry excuse for one.
I don't support a 30's something "child".

Neither do I ...what's your point?
So he's in his 40's? That's even worse.

If that's up north, you'll have to shovel your 'yard' in the winter!

Spoofer alert! Everyone knows that I've spent my whole life aboard
boats. I've done it all.

I went to school with a kid named Tom Sawyer. He got tired of people
asking him "Where's Huck Finn?"

I would have asked, "Where's Becky?" She was a lot cuter than Huck.

Have you been off on a boating adventure, Herring?
