Kelletts & Devil's claws, August 20

I will be presenting my annual FREE anchoring seminar at West Marine, 3500 Barrancas, Pensacola, FL on Tuesday 8/20/13 at 6 PM. Y'all are invited.
After 18 years living aboard and cruising, I have some tips to share.

Huh. That would be interesting. If you ever record it for a YouTube video (which you may not if you make a buck off live presentations, naturally), I for one would find that worth watching.

You got an extra t in your kellet. Is that for added weight. Devil without the claw. I'm like what is a Kellett?

Re: Kelletts & Devil's claws, August 20

I call a kellet and angel but it's the same thing. A weight on the rode to keep the cantenary effect pulling low.

Spell check is harder for the forum than for emails.

How long can one talk about weighting a anchor chain or using a specific device for a snubber.
