A correction to the last post.
The electrons had not yet settled into stable orbits after I hit the "send" button on blogger last night than I was being corrected. Last post I wrongly ascribed backing up boats to a general European predilection. I should have clarified that it is a Mediterranean Mooring system hence the name "Med Moor".
For the record the British do not use Med Mooring and do not favour going backwards in their boats. Nor I hasten (after being duly chastened) do the Belgians. Nor my lastest email informs me the Dutch.
Guys I give. Mia Culpa.
And as for Wade who thinks I should be schlepping the anchor and rode and the Budget Committee manning the wheel I can only say this:
1. speak to the BC. I have tried. If you can get the BC to willingly take the wheel good on you.
2.they call it "manning the wheel" for a reason (see how much fun this stuff is),
3. the BC LOWERED THE fortress anchor. I lugged it back to the stern (how else would I know it was heavy). I will pull it up on our exit.

But it sure was fun writing this stuff.
