Not been on a cruise ship, I see.


not on one that was anchored. you see a lot of anchored cruise ships?

Yup. Try the Carib during New Years. Lots of anchored cruise ships.
In
St. John, both us and the QE2 and at least 5 others were anchored. All
the
Holland America boats anchor when they go to Holland America owned Half
Moon
Cay. Try Grand Cayman. You ever been on a boat / ship?


Seen them anchored in St Martens, off Playa Car in the Yucatan, and
throughout the Galapagos.

Every cruise ship I have been on has spent *at least* one day anchored
somewhere, requiring launches to get passengers to and from shore.

My boat has all chain rode. Of course I bought the boat from a "weak
old man." However I like it. Requires less scope nad hasn't broke
loose since I put I more appropriate anchor on it.
