Next message: Alan Wagner: "T&T: Air Conditioning"
We first saw boats (sportsfishermen, mostly) anchor by the stern in the
Almodovar anchorage in Culebra, Puerto Rico. With no opening ports or
hatches forward, it was the only way for them to get a breeze (short of
running the genset and air conditioning). We have done it in calm conditions
to get a breeze in the cockpit of our Krogen Manatee but we always take the
rode back to the bow for the night. On our sailboat in the Caribbean, we
occasionally took a stern line ashore to hold the bow into the swell coming
into the anchorage. Or what we call the "Bahamian Fisherman's Moor" (not to
be confused with the Bahamian moor) which puts a second line on the
bow-deployed anchor rode which is then led astern or to the jib sheet winch,
creating a bridle, allowing the boat to be winched around to point to bow
wherever you want it.
