Places & Destinations
A dinghy tied to a dock. A jon boat sliding into a quiet creek. A kayak strapped to a car roof. Small boats have quietly put more first-time boaters on.
Anchoring a boat is not just tossing metal over the side and hoping it holds. I have watched my own anchor skip along a rocky bottom while my boat drifted.
A phone dropping into a swimming pool takes just a couple of seconds, but the consequences can lead to the necessity of buying an entirely new phone. That’s why choosing.
Someone handed me a chart of the British Virgin Islands once and said, “Pick an anchorage.” I stood there for a solid ten minutes pretending I understood what I was.
