One of my recent students who shall remain nameless, failed to
complete a homework assignment after apparently losing interest in the
subject. Therefore I will throw it open to the group.

You are in a 40 something boat, power or sail makes no difference,
anchored in over 40 feet of water with 3/8ths chain and a 60 pound
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.

Well, you don't do what Larry said, "If the windlass fails, you cut and
run. I'll bet there are tens of
thousands of anchors on the bottom of the ocean that were stuck and the
Captain had no other choice."

Do I get 1/2 credit?


If it's stuck, it's stuck. This is a different scenario, expert.

Why don't you tell us about your cut and run life philosophy, liar.

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?

People almost always get it wrong. What got old was being asked if I
was related to Hopalong, a not bad western actor who was popular in
the forties and fifties. I was the smartest kid in the school. Not a
fun job, but somebodies luck had to run out.`

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

I had a friend in grammar school named Cashmere Baeter. In those days it
was popular to preface boys surnames with Master.

What - you like two hundred years old? :)

Closing in on it.

That's a lot of duck years, but what the heck, you're still quacking.

Drag the bottom with hook the right size to snag the chain.

Then what ?

Blame Obama.

No need to blame him for your petty anchor problems, D'Plume. He's
doing enough to catch hell for.

You're the one with the petty problems.

With no irony, D'Plume. You are simply *petty*
