Anchoring

[Brian S]

Just a thought should an anchor ever get caught on underneath obstruction. Tie a trip line to the back end of the anchor tied off to a floater or fender. Should the anchor not come loose, then go to the trip line and pull up from the back end. Never lost any more anchors either in rivers, lakes, etc....

Yabut Crazy Dave, don't other cruisers get annoyed by trip buoys in a crowded anchorage?

Free is the best

Six cylinder, or V-8?

Haha, any ones we could get for free. 15 years ago V-8's were not hard to get. Last couple I did we had to use a couple of 4 cylinders chained together; little more work, but they worked.
