Yep.. you're unable to answer the question. So much for your expertise.


Exactly what is it about a homework assignment that you don't
understand ?

You're not my teacher. You're some guy on a newsgroup who claims to have
great knowledge about cruising/anchoring. I asked a straightforward, honest
question.. how do you deal with 100 ft of chain and big anchor if you can't
use a windlass. It seems as though you'd rather rest on your laurels vs.
making a serious attempt to answer a serious question. I even proposed
driving up to above the anchor, but that doesn't solve the problem of
pulling up all that weight. If you want to answer the question, if you're
capable of answering the question, go for it. Otherwise, you should probably
just admit that you don't have an answer and perhaps take the lesson
yourself and find a solution, since you're actually doing the cruising and
it might come in handy.
