We are going to lay out our chain on the dock and spray paint at 25 feet intervals later today. Clearly the fore deck crew needs an easy way to remember the depth out given that we do not have a counter.
The US version of the color code is Rub Your Body With Oil, or Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Orange, then repeating.
My concern there is that the repeat with have orange followed by red. After a bit of fading these may start to look the same.
So I am thinking of using the Royal Navy version of Rub Your Balls With Grease. With the G being Green. So less chance of confusion.
I did clear this with the usual anchor crew this morning, and she said "OK, but don't be loudly reminding me every five minutes in quiet anchorages!"
Who, me?
