Editorial

Did you ever notice how people just love to see others mess up? If you doubt me, just check it out the next time you are anchored in a crowded area, or where there are lots of moorings. Groups of boaters will get out their deck chairs, grab a cold glass of rum and settle in to watch others arrive.

As each one uses his or her own way to anchor or moor, the critic will sit back and explain to those within earshot just how he would do it better.
