How about a screw anchor on his lawn? An easy self=install with a long pipe or bar and easily removed. You would have almost a level pull increasing its holding power. Maybe chain until it's over water and then polyester or maybe Nylon. I should not have used the term "low stretch" polyester. Regular old Polyester stretches enough, just not as much as Nylon. Forget cheap if it's your liveaboard home you are defending.
According to one weather blog, Fay is likely to stall over central Florida so flooding may be the biggest hazard. Ron Rogers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Densler, Vernon Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 7:57 PM I asked the person that has the dock across the canal but it's in bad shape and he is worried about my boat bringing it the rest of the way down. I am looking for something I can put out of the way and just keep there to tie to when I need it. Maybe a big screw anchor is the way to go if I can get it in there. If I can find someone who dives that can screw it in for me that would be good. I will work on that before the next storm. Then put some chain from that to a float so I can find it when I need it. _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Rogers Would it be possible for you to place lines on the opposite wall of the canal? I'd use low stretch Dacron/polyester on the assumption that the lines would be quite long and Nylon would have too much stretch at that length. By the same token, if you placed conventional anchors off your beam, would they have sufficient scope to hold?
