[Rhodes22-list] Hunting at anchor

[Michael Meltzer]

just remember, you can try the techniques but be careful of going to sleep and being woken up with a bang :-)
what happened your boat will now not swing with the wind/tide like the other boat next to you(that might of got their after you went
to sleep)
can lead to al sort of fun. at least around me rally do you get an anchorage with your own 300 foot diameter circle so you have to
swing with the other boats.
