My Incredible Adventure- Hauling out the Anchor Part II

Posted on by Sharon

  • Anchor is Aweigh – Anchor is off the sea bottom when being heaved in .
  • Anchor is Foul – Anchor cable is caught around the fluke or an object is caught around the anchor .
  • Anchor Watch – A member or members of the crew that keep watch and check to see whether the anchor is dragging and the the drift of the ship. This is prudent when anchored in heavy weather, or where wind direction may change dangerously.
  • Anchor Windlass – A windlass is a winch-like device used to assist in the raising of the anchor.
  • Anchor Chain A chain attached to the anchor. The chain acts partially as a weight to keep the anchor lying next to the ground so that it can dig in better.
  • Anchor Rode A line (chain, nylon or steel cable) used to hold a vessel fast   to  the anchor.

Art Haven Block Party Plans

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

just in from Art Haven Director Dawn Gadow-

Hi all,

Although I know it’s probably too late to get in any real advertising or anything, I just wanted to let you all know that Art Haven will be having a beach day for the block party this weekend. We’ve got some beautiful big shells that kids can paint and do crafts with and make their own beach scene! There is also a possibility of making the shells into candles. So, if you could spread the word at all that would be awesome. I hope the week is going well for you all and I’m praying for sunshine on Saturday!
