Old men too weak to lift 100 feet of nylon rope plus an anchor insist on all
chain rode -- claiming it is safer -- because chain fits through an electric
windlass with less effort than tailing a rope on an electric windlass.

Also, people who are scared to death of the water think all chain is somehow
"stronger" than rope and thus they want all chain to save themselves from their
own mistakes.

Fact is, all chain WILL bust out an anchor -- or break deck chocks loose --
when the winds pick up and the waves start.

all chain is for weak old men in motorboats with sticks and fraidy-cats
whowon't motor down the ICW without listening to Herb.
