Recently, while standing on deck, I realized how spending more and more time on our boat has created a new way of looking at situations for me. I saw this boat on that particular day and I immediately began to think about the conditions that were present. In this instance, the pictured boat is anchored, the rode for the anchor (which appears to be rope) has a very steep angle, which seems to indicate that there isn’t much scope deployed. The boat is facing South as both the wind and the current are running North at about 5kph. The boat is anchored <100′ from the swing bridge located to the North, off the stern. Sunset was about 60 minutes away so I assumed the skipper planned to spend the night. There wasn’t a dinghy visible, so either the boat didn’t have one or the maybe some, or all, of the crew was ashore….this image made me think….what would I have done differently if anything?……What do you think?
