Actually.. he is kind-of correct... Most cruise ships run on electic
motors so they are only "running" when making turns... BUT, the gensets
that power them and the AC, lights etc are running most of the time.

dum-dum, you are. both the Navy and cruise ships -- when at anchor --
keep
their engines running to be used to get the hell out of Dodge should
the winds
become too strong. Also, both the Navy and cruise ships use anchors
totally
inappropriate for recreational sailboat. Navy anchors are for squat
holding,
they are designed to be easily stored.

like I said, all chain rode is for weak old men and it WILL pull the
anchor
loose and/or break off deck chocks when the wind pipes up and the
waves start.
