Our old old GPS has a feature where you can set an "alarm zone" and that
is what I'd use, but your method sounds simpler. One of these days we're
going to update electronics...

The "alarm zone" pretty much correspond to the "anchor watch". All I would
like to find is a GPS where the alarm zone can have the shape and the
position I want.


On ours (~1992 model) you can do exactly that, it just takes a long time
programming it in. Maybe I'm assuming too much in thinking that other
models have the same feature.

==========================

Not short enough.

Let's stick to boats.


I do wayne but it is nice of you to try to protect the liar who starts
most of the NG OT threads??? Ya know Wayne you just might be an example
of; you can give a man money but you can't give him brains.

But here ya go so even you you get the idea, a longer Krause lie:-)

Krause's lie of the day is a bit of a double header sorry, but so
many lies so little time:-)

Whenever his total lack of any real boating knowledge looks like
uncovering him as the sad little liar he is, he posts some crazy list of
boats he claims are his base, here are just a few of his claims, he has
tried to sustain these lies & as each one is shown to be a fabrication
he just invents a new one, the latest is the "Parker".

Don't feel conned nor stupid if you've been taken in by him, he
make exactly the same lies up in the jet ski NGs when he used to pollute
them with his crap, can you believe it he claimed to be a jet skier!!!!!
(responsible & caring in the socialist way of course:-))

This idiot has never owned a boat & never will he is totally devoid
of any boating experience nor knowledge, other than what he picks up in
this NG & the occasional paid charter fishing trip.



Here are some:



Hatteras 43' sportfish
Swan 41' racing/cruising sloop
Morgan 33
O'Day 30
Cruisers, Inc., Mackinac 22
Century Coronado
Bill Luders 16, as sweet a sailboat as ever caught a breeze.
Century 19' wood lapstrake with side wheel steering
Cruisers, Inc. 18' and 16' wood lapstrakes
Wolverines. Molded plywood. Gorgeous. Several. 14,15,17 footers
with various
Evinrudes
Lighting class sailboat
Botved Coronet with twin 50 hp Evinrudes. Interesting boat.
Aristocraft (a piece of junk...13', fast, held together with spit)
Alcort Sunfish
Ancarrow Marine Aquiflyer. 22' footer with two Caddy Crusaders.
Guaranteed 60 mph. In the late 1950's.
Skimmar brand skiff
Arkansas Traveler fiberglass bowrider (I think it was a bowrider)
Dyer Dhow
Su-Mark round bilge runabout, fiberglass
Penn Yan runabouts. Wood.
Old Town wood and canvas canoe
Old Town sailing canoe...different than above canoe




I own the following boats:


a 36' "lobster" style boat
a 19' center console fishing boat
an 11' inflatable dinghy
1/2 of a canoe


Those are the types of boats I currently own. I'm also in the market for
some interesting kind of lightweight flatbottomed skiff, similar to the
old Skimmar, for the "new" 51-year-old 10 hp outboard I recently bought.


One of the boats is kept on dry land within a half mile of Chesapeake
Bay. One is kept at a private covered boat dock in a little creek off
Chesapeake Bay. One is kept in the backyard of a friend who lives much
closer to the Shenandoah River than I do. And one is kept next to the
36-footer."

Well no one has given me any money recently so I assume you are
talking about some other Wayne. Nice thought anyway Karen, same to
you.

Why don't you give us and your Harry obsession a rest for awhile?

Does anybody know of a GPS with improved features for anchor watch?. I am
currently using a Garmin 128, which has the limitation that the center of
the circle being monitored cannot be manually positionned at will, but will
coincide with the position of the boat at the time the anchor watch
function is triggered.. As ideally, the center of the circle should be on
the anchor position, it is then desirable to think of triggering the anchor
watch function as the anchor is dropped...which is easily neglected or
forgotten!

Thanks in advance,

Robert

Send me the GPSR, and I rewrite the firmware, as I was the lead
programmer for Garmin.
