He wasn't. You are. But you haven't seemed to grasp the fact that navy
ships and commercial ships do not "leave their engines running" while in
port.


again, all chain rode is for old men, and those afraid of the water.

In your humble opinion, of course.

of course they do, on anchor, which is the basis of the clown's claim prior.

As a former ship's engineer, I can assure you for a fact that they do
not. At least, not in the real world. I don't have the experience to say
what they do in JaxWorld.

The only engine running is the gen set. Big gen set, but just a gen set.

of course. ships at anchor sit there waiting and waiting and waiting for a
storm to hit, their propulsion system flat dead and needing four hours to bring
up to usable speed.

you sell concrete slabs to mobile home buyers for a living. your knowledge of
how "ships" run is based on your prior ownership of a Hunter 19 with an
outboard.

I don't have the experience to say
what they do.

Of course they DON'T !!! Where do you get these stupid ideas??? Try
using some common sense.

.........are not aware of the manner in which
military and commercial ships lay at anchor.

All chain rode would be an overkill for your Sunfsh, however. You are certainly
correct
about that.
