Tying the boat to the bottom probably works very well. But why rely on such a straightforward approach when there are so many really slick gadgets from which to choose? For example, how about installing a Differential GPS with an anchor alarm, with a feed to an underwater signaling device? Then your boat will alert you when (and if) it begins to drift away. Actually, given how well the hull transmits sounds, for the signaling device you could probably just use some small stereo speakers mounted in the aft compartment. Hook these up to an MP3 player, and configure it to play "Anchors Away" when the DGPS alarm signals significant drift. :-) Dan Hagen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sat Feb 06 1999 - 08:42:18 PST
