G Reads like more typical Jax BS ....

1. A cat, that Jax knows has all chain, drags down on a Moody 52 and
then pulls both (we must assume the Moody had all chain since it also
dragged) into a breakwater .... and no one does a thing to stop either
boat......

2. A ketch (with less windage than Jax's boat, so must be in the low
30's in length - at best), that has TWO complete ALL chain rodes (wonder
where they stow it all... not impossible....eg), does something ...
typically, Jax can't or won't explain what that something is, but leaves
us to assume that it justifies his statements .... and again, no one
does or can do anything to correct whatever it is that happens..... and
ole Jax is out there measuring everyone's scope ( I can just see this.
Dons his scuba gear and dives everyone's anchor rode with a measuring
tape, takes bottom samples to confirm the proper anchor type....)

Give it a rest, Jax ... you started a troll with stupid, unproved
statements, made a bunch more incorrect ones regarding ships, Navy, oil
rig, etc. (correction, combination incorrect and unsubstantiated [in
many cases no comments as to what the relevance might be]), and in
general showed that you know less about anchoring than you do
navigation, rules, boat handling (power), etc..

Let's hope this particular troll is ended .... nuff said.

JAXAshby BS'd:
Any accidents?


well, there was the cat that hit the Moody 52 (I heard it was a Moody) and ran
both into the breadwater at the USNA. Only ten minutes before the cat almost
hit me. ten minutes after that there was the ketch with less windage than my
boat and two (count 'em, two!) cqr's (each twice the weight of my anchor) and 7
to 1 scope all chain rode *each*.

virtually every boat you see dragging anchor in winds of 20+ knots and wave of
3+ feet are on all chain. the clowns claim it is "an Act of God" rather than
admit stupidity.
