[Rhodes22-list] Diving on Anchor

[Bill Effros]

Somebody mentioned something about diving on anchor.  With our boats 
this is not necessary.

Bow anchor 75 feet off a beach.  Using the motor, back up to the beach.  
Drop the anchor you want to watch off the stern in one or two feet of 
water; on sand; on rocks; in mud.  Turn off the motor.  Pay out stern 
anchor line.  Set the stern anchor.  Watch what happens.  The physics 
are the same.  You'll learn a lot.
