This might brighten your day, how past acts can tell you a lot about a man, and a very good cause I really hope some Boat Bits readers will support...Why is it your propane bottle always runs out before your first cup of coffee rather than after?
One nice part of changing propane bottles this morning was the big charter cat anchored on top of us fired up its engines, picked up their anchor and left...
Maybe they didnt like the music from the Ukrainian Punk Polka band Ive been playing, though I will admit that pain threshold loud accordions, heavy distortion, and Black Flag (just imagine a Russian Henry Rollins on speed) covers are, at best, an acquired taste so not really everyones cup of tea.
Anyway, I mention the cats leaving not because of conflicting musical tastes but that I was actually shocked to see just how little scope they had out. It appeared that, at most, they had all of 45 of chain out in fifteen feet of water which is just frelling nuts for a 70+ foot cat with Godzilla-sized windage and very little draft.
In hindsight I should have been a lot more worried...
That said, of the five most common mistakes in anchoring I see played out all the time, insufficient scope is most certainly number one with a bullet. So, not exactly all that surprising when you think about it.

So it goes...
