Many years ago, I took my future wife and her sister for a sail on an old Columbia Sabre on a warm February day in Baltimore Harbor. On the way back, the wind quit and the fog rolled in while we were between the Domino Sugar factory and the Bethlehem Steel drydocks. We could barely see the bow on a 32' boat. As we were drifting, out of the fog we hear a ship's whistle - close and loud. After mounting the old British Seagull 5hp outboard, and trying to get it started in a panic with a lot of words that my wife had never heard, or heard since, I looked at my watch and sat down. My wife, worried we were about to get run over by a ship asked what the hell I was doing. I told her it was the noon whistle at the shipyard. She's never forgiven me.

We're dragging! I've often wished for an anchor alarm app for my smart phone or GPS chartplotter that would work like the range alarm on my RADAR where you set a ring of a particular range, rather than just a directional distance, and if you moved outside of that circle, the alarm would sound. Seems to me that GPS makers have missed the boat on what would be a really great feature to use as a sales pitch.

First time I set my anchor alarm, I allowed for 10 feet of drag. During the night there was a slight wind change, no drag but Finesse did swing. LIke you it got me up in a hurry. How stupid I felt not thinking about something so simple as a possible wind change, duh. Again, enjoyed you humor and thanks for posting.
