It has ten feet of 5/16" chain, so if it doesn't get a good hold due to kelp or poor bottom, the weight will hold it down. <br />In the San Juans and north, the water is deep so a long rode is necessary. It's not unusual to anchor in thirty feet of water, which would require two hundred feet of anchor line in a storm.<br /><br />It'll be good to see you when you do make it, Bruce. The fun is guaranteed.dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-20045371465379081102012-07-04T14:27:18.412-07:002012-07-04T14:27:18.412-07:00I've always wanted to go to the Rendezvous, bu...I've always wanted to go to the Rendezvous, but the timing wasn't right. Have fun. I'm going next year for sure.<br /><br />Say, talk to us a little about anchors and small boats- what type(s) do you like to use? Strategies?<br /><br />-BruceBrucehttp://terrapintales.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-19985297382083239132012-07-02T11:37:54.181-07:002012-07-02T11:37:54.181-07:00Joel, I know Chuck Gottfried is coming and he can ...Joel, I know Chuck Gottfried is coming and he can put away a healthy amount of beer. Frank Mabrey will also be there (but he doesn't drink).<br /><br />Chuck is leasing a boat out of Anacortes and bringing his wife, so he will be on a big plastic boat. He will be sailing in company with a couple who own a C&C.<br /><br />I thought John Kohnen might be there, but haven't heard anything from him in awhile. There might be a few others, you never know - they're an unpredictable bunch, those Coots.<br /><br />Bob, it will be great to see "Gardens" in the Islands. Hope you can make it. This trip will be on the 12th-14th next year. If you can, set aside at least a week afterward for some extended sailing.dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-19706336331604301832012-07-02T11:22:01.857-07:002012-07-02T11:22:01.857-07:00O'Dock, you're funny as always.

One of those days, I spent huddled in a leaky tent in off-shore foulies - couldn't even get out a book for fear of destroying it.<br /><br />This year will be different. If I have a bulletproof tent, it will not rain.dorymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077373149267825091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-50862251379904544222012-07-02T11:09:30.329-07:002012-07-02T11:09:30.329-07:00If you haven't, have a look at Snoring Bay - m...If you haven't, have a look at Snoring Bay - my favorite on Sucia.<br /><br />The Friday Harbor Chamber of Commerce told me to tell you that it's in the rain shadow of Orcas Island so it never rains there in July.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-75146962542769434782012-07-02T05:41:13.773-07:002012-07-02T05:41:13.773-07:00Looking forward to the reports and photos of this ...Looking forward to the reports and photos of this year's outing. I've penciled next year's Sucia Rendezvous into the calendar - may have to rearrange other annual outings to make it. The plan would be to bring "Gardens of Fenwick." <br /><br />Thanks for a couple of ideas to incorporate into the new build.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18334119651373578539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007838299911865964.post-16741086169381752992012-07-01T21:51:39.644-07:002012-07-01T21:51:39.644-07:00Hi Mike.
