Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

:thumb: So true.

Double :thumb:.



Yes, this sounds bad. I have cruised in areas like this in the past: North Channel and especially 1000-Islands was especially problematic for this kind of...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Yes, I think we're all saying the same thing. Obviously, and as I said, in the real world when you go into a busy anchorage, you do your best to find a place that is both adequate for you, and does...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Thin, the "first boat in" rule always seems like an idealized physics problem. It's an overly simplified set of parameters that rarely matches actual reality. In the real world, problems are usually...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

I've only had one, nearly identical, encounter over the now 2+ decades of my cruising life. Nearly the same situation; boat anchored in less than 10' of water, with something like 15-20:1 scope (or...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Nicely put. When I'm anchoring, my first considerations have to do with safety and where I would like to be, but after that I always try and anchor in a way that allows for others to come in a join....

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Yup, there are a lot of good and valid reasons to use multiple anchors. I've done so, mostly to limit swing when anchored in confined waters. I too like to anchor in shallow areas, or squeeze into...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Agreed. But at least there is some necessity to a generator (usually). What I find completely offensive is when someone decides the whole anchorage must listen to their music. If someone wants to...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Ah... You have my condolences. Mine 'friend' was American-flagged. Just shows that jerks know no borders.

I mostly feel for the long-suffering spouse(s). I can't imagine cruising, or indeed...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

:thumb:

Well said. Too often, these discussions seem to take the perspective of 'protecting my turf.' How about finding ways to let as many in as possible?

When we anchor, one of the factors I...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

If everyone does it, and everyone knows to do it, then it works great. There were a few anchorages on the north shore of Lake Superior where this was the case. It was always quite obvious, and worked...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

Agree Kettlewell, I may not like it, but as long as there's a boat-length between us, I'm fine. It's an unrealistic expectation to have hundreds of feet between boats in busy anchorages. The answer...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

You asked about anchoring etiquette. But some people aren't going to follow, or respect, what most would call respectful behaviour. Seems to me, you've answered your question through your actions;...

Re: What's your anchoring etiquette

When I'm anchoring with other boats around (doesn't happen very often these days), I try and find the furthest spot away from others, while still ensuring a good anchoring spot. Sometimes that means...
