Thought For The Day - Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't.
Pete Seeger

One of the things I like most about cruising is that you never know what you'll see on any given day. Even sitting in a marina, as we are now, things change every day, especially when you're near working industrial docks. They're putting in floating docks in our marina, and a dragline on a barge has been busily setting the posts that anchor these docks. Today I learned how the barge that carries the dragline anchors itself. It has 2 large steel posts on it which extend through the barge. The dragline raises or lowers these posts one at a time. When lowered, these posts anchor the barge. The barge was originally over by one of the large piers, and I had wondered why it didn't move considering there were no lines from it to the dock. Now I know.

Stay safe.
