Any particular reason for preferring the Delta?Â* Bruce anchors have a
reputation for setting very quickly.Â* I had a Delta for a while on my
old boat but sold it after an experience where it failed to reset
after pulling out.Â* Spade and Rocna have both become very popular in
recent years because they set well and hold well, even with wind and
current changes.Â* Two years ago we road out hurricane Matthew using a
combination of a 90 pound Rocna on all chain, and a 65 pound Bruce on
7/8ths nylon.Â* Both held very well in winds over 70 knots.



How convenient that a fellow asks a question and you have an answer
ready to post...don't forget to tell him how much water your barge
draws and how large the fuel tanks are, too. He'll surely be
impressed, w'hiner.


Your green tint doesn't become you Harry.



You are implying I am jealous of w'hine? That's really funny. There's
nothing about Wayne, his boats, or his life that have the slightest
appeal for me. There's no conservative here who has what I value most.


Ah.Â* That explains your unsolicited response to Wayne's post.Â*Â* Not.



I have no interest in wayne's style of boating and apparently you don't,
either, since you sold off the large boats you owned and apparently
hardly ever used. When we retire to Hilton Head, assuming I am still
above ground, I'm going to go small with boating, and pick up a 16' or
18' inshore fishing skiff of some sort, perhaps a flat-bottomed Amesbury
style dory that will fit on its trailer in the garage and be powered by
a 25 hp or so outboard.


So does that mean your twin Volvo powered trawler is up for sale?




Sold it last season. Considered a 30-foot Beneteau pseudo-trawler for
awhile...but then we started talking about retiring in a few years and
relocating to Hilton Head. Went fishing there with a guide who uses a
17-foot boat and small outboard and caught and released lotsa fish from datea
half dozen inshore spots in and around the island. Easy boating, easy
fishing. Don’t need more than that from a boat. When we want to cruise to a
different part of the country, we’ll do it on a plane.



So apparently you hardly ever used the twin Volvo powered trawler, eh?




Say what? We took some “cruises,� but usually just used it in and around
the Bay, down to Va Beach, up to Cape May. Spent many long weekends
sleeping aboard around the Bay. Almost invited Herring out, but came to my
senses.

I think we’ll be shopping for a building lot in Hilton Head or a new
builder house we can customize as it is built. We’re working with a realtor
on the relatively long term plan.

My main requirement for a small inshore boat is that it can accommodate a
decent Bimini top and is stable enough to cast from a front deck.


But you don’t fish. . .

If you took The John out, he'd want to bring along his bowl of turds. Then your boat head would be clogged until you found someone immune to the stench who could clear the blockage. Hardly worth the trouble.

Dumb, but not a surprise.
