[Public-List] Hand cranking an Atomic 4

[Roger L. Kingsland]

RE: "I carry a pair (of work gloves) for anchoring":

What kind of bottom conditions provide the best holding for work gloves?
I'm thinking they would grab nicely onto coral and not damage it when
weighing anchors.

(sorry David, and everyone, couldn't resist)

Heavy (-ish) work gloves offer some protection in the case of getting
whacked (on the nands) with hard fast-moving objects such as hammers,
hatchets and engine starting cranks...

I carry a pair for anchoring.
