A nylon rode dragging on the bottom will not last long, particularly on a rocky or coral bottom. 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 ... -- Taxation, modern day slavery. The loss of economic freedom. 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. le 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. Well said. |
