Subject: Why need anchor chain?
From: (Bilgeman) labomba asks: -What the heck does that have to do with my statement?- Bilge- I'm essentially agreeing with you: -In a "good blow", the small amount of chain used in most chain and rode setups is not going to keep the rode at a shallower angle-labomba -We're talking chain AND line here. Not ALL chain.-labomba and -So, the 846 foot, 32,600gt Sealand Express was using line and chain at the time?- labomba Bilge- You know dang well that she wasn't, chum. The point is that even with 4 or 5 shots of chain along the bottom, AND a "set" danforth anchor, you still need to keep an eye on your angle. Yeesh...pardon me for supporting you. Have a day; Sorry if I misunderstood. I think it started when you started your reply with Bilge -. I though you were using it as a replacement for calling BS. And then when you went on talking about a large ship and swinging areas I lost the tie in. Capt. Bill |
