endangering the lives of other people because one is too lazy to lift a 35#
anchor is in fact criminal behavior.

thrity years ago people *claimed* that driving drunk was a god given right. To
this day people claim that driving a boat drunk is a god given right.

Each is a criminal act.

As is endangering the lives of other people by knowingly anchoring in fashion
that causes a boat to come loose when the winds and waves pick up.
using all chain on a sailboat is as criminal as driving a car drunk.

A classic Jaxism. Thanks! We need more humor in this newsgroup.
