Can't you be fined for damaging coral? I thought that was the norm
these
days. Seems like you shouldn't be anchoring where you can do damage,
so
that leaves sand, mud, and rocks (which sounds hard, no pun
intended).

Depends where you lay anchor. But if you were a boater you would
know
that. But as usual, just a dumb she-it ...

Hey bozo... please tell us where you can put your anchor (assuming you
had
one of course) on coral where you wouldn't damage it. I'm sure there
are
some places where you wouldn't be caught or where the locals don't
care,
but
since you're not going to be going to any of those places...

As usual, you demonstrate just how asinine you really are.

It turns out that there are stray bits of coral in many, many places.
They are scattered around the bottom like small rocks, are very sharp
and abrasive, and impossible to avoid in some areas. Since they are
not part of a living coral reef there is no real need to avoid them.

You have much to learn and should avoid being overly critical of those
who try to explain things to you.

I have no doubt that coral exists in lots of places. Seems to me that
you
can almost always avoid them if you're careful.

You said that "there is no real need to avoid them," but in the previous
sentence said that they "are very sharp and abrasive." Seems to me that
there is a real need to avoid them.

As far as being overly critical, that's a reaction to the low-brow,
mean-spirited attitude of Canuck and a few others. I don't think I've
been
overly critical of you or Greg or others who have been civil and
helpful. If
you claim that I have "much to learn" (which I'm not disputing), then it
seems to me if you want to contribute to my learning, one should be
civil
and not an ass.

Between the two of you, Wayne B is not the ass.

The little bitch wants us to be nice to her and teach her stuff? She needs
to do an attitude reversal before that will happen.

Go drop dead (metaphorically of course).

Play nice with the boys and you won't get your ass handed to you 50 times
a day.

You Dopers & wannabes can't find your own ass with both hands.... how are
you going to hand anyone else's??

~snerk~ once again, that name calling and insult slinging make you sound
very intelligent and sophisticated just like me!

Not always true, depends on where you are.

Seems like a contradiction to me. If it depends on where you are, and you
know there's coral "there," then you should be able to avoid that place.
Also, I said almost always... not always.

You said that "there is no real need to avoid them," but in the previous
sentence said that they "are very sharp and abrasive." Seems to me that
there is a real need to avoid them.

There is no need to avoid them for ecological reasons, and assuming
you have a decent length of chain attached to your anchor, as everyone
should, there is no reason to be concerned about abrasion either.

I guess it depends on the definition of "decent length" of chain. Is that
20' or 30' or all chain or what? Seems open to interpretation. And, if you
have less than a decent amount, and you know you're going to a place that
potentially has coral, seems reasonable to either avoid that place, get more
chain, or talk to the locals before you try to anchor.

Let me know when you think you think you or anyone with your lack of
intelligence has "handed" my ass to me. You are certainly an idiot and the
only ass handling you're capable of would be you attempting to wipe your own
butt.

Pass the popcorn. The dumpster Diva is going to teach Wayne all about
coral, and ground tackle. This should be good.

Half a boat length of chain is the recommended minimum. Most serious
cruisers are using all chain (with a snubber) for a variety of good
reasons.

Did you get a copy of Chapman's yet ? You'll learn a lot from it and
get more details than anyone here can provide:
