Anchoring

Anchoring the ship. First I have to walk out the anchor to the water's edge. I engage the wildcat and take up slack with the motor so the clutch and gears do not bang when I take the brake off. Then I release the brake, walk the anchor out, set the brake, and disengage. Now the anchor is "on the brake". Then all I have to do to drop the anchor is open up the brake and try to feather it out so as not to make a big pile of chain on top of the anchor as the ship drifts back. Finally, not shown, after sufficient shots of chain are paid out, I set the brake and set the riding pawl. A shot is 90 feet of chain.
