All chain rode is for old men
 

gene, would you mind very much not posting when you are drunk? wait until a
day or two from now and then try to rewrite your post below:


Poor JAX. Run out of (semi) logical responses?

no, gene, ran out of patience for incoherant drunks.

Now Jax, if you had started this thread/troll in that manner you would have
saved yourself some time.
It's obvious you started it with a stupid post that showed you had no
knowledge, education, experience, understanding, etc. of the subject at
hand.... the norm for you.... and were fully ready to spout some abstract
nonsense in a vain attempt to justify your original BS.
As per usual, you could not respond to any response with anything intelligent
or helpful, to the basic subject of the thread/troll, and instead, embarrassed
yourself with foolish comments about ships at anchor and oilrigs ( a subject
you obviously know even less about).

Shen ..... looking forward to your next attempt at nonsense.......

Actually, he hasn't said Democrat, Republican, Bush, Kerry, Liberal,
Conservative, or any of those other silly ass political terms.

His physics seems to be accurate on many accounts.

Problem is, the rigidity and narrowness of his posits. In a
laboratory, under given conditions, he is usually quite correct. The
problem is, under most real-life situations.... situations
encountered with real boaters.... under realistic... non-laboratory
conditions, his posits are moot. They just don't apply.

He is entertaining... and while sorta off-plumb, he is on topic. Ya
gotta give him that....

there is a reason for that.

that is the very same "logic" used by drunk drivers 30 years ago to justify
their criminal behavior, "I didn't hit anything, there I am safe driving no
matter how much I have".

Way to go, gene.

Ok, a little confused here, The Anchor Line I use, is Nylon, attactched to
my Anchor is an Anchor Rode, or Chain. 4' of heavy Glavanized Chain that
is to aid in the setting of the Flukes. If I tie up to a Dock, I use
Dockline, if I tie up to a Mooreing, I use the Mooreing Line on my vessel.
I allways carry 6 Docklines, and 2 Moreing Lines and on my Anchor is 100'
of Nylon Rope that is tied to a 4'-6' length of Heavy Chain that is
attatched to the 'eye' of my Anchors so that my Anchors will set and my
vessel will stay.
This has obviously worked since my Vessel was one of many few that did not
end up ashore after Ivan hit us.
All of these tactics and Proper Anchoreing can be reviewed and learned
from your local USCGAUX.

Yes, you are a bit confused. The entirety of your nylon anchor line and
chain is properly considered the rode, not just the chain. Also, the chain
serves other purposes in addition to helping set the anchor. And lastly,
rope when aboard a vessel, is generally referred to as line. Might want to
go back and brush up on those USCG Auxiliary courses.

FOUR FEET? Geez, I have more than that on my 12-ft tin boat. Far Cove has
30ft of chain and 200ft of nylon, with another 200 ready to go if I need
it (and if you're trying for the 5:1 to 7:1 they recommend in 40-60ft of
water, you DO need it!)
