boathook or your foot, hand or any other part of
your body.

unfouled;

shoes.
- Before anchoring check the depth of water,
the power of the current and the nature of the
sea bed.
- Check the swinging area once the boat is at
anchor.
- After each trip rinse the windlass and anchor
chain or rode with fresh water.
