We today have a president of the United States who looks like he is the
son of Howdy Doody or Alfred E. Newman, who isn't smarter than either of
them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?

wind and waves pick up you MUST have a stretch in the rode provided by rode
only available as nylon or plaited line (unless, of course, you have prior hung
several or more 25# kellets in the middle of your all chain rode).
