My Grandad made an app for an anchor alarm when I was a kid and it worked pretty well. It involved tying a fishing line to a bake bean can filled with concrete that was dropped beside the anchor on setting. The other end was fastened to a saucepan placed on the galley table under a large collection of pots and pans. If we ever dragged Grandma would jump up with such a start and a shot of adrenaline that she would have us re-set in no time. All the while the rest of us, including Grandad, slept like babies. I like JustBob’s idea of being able to recenter the circle, it makes total sense to me. Better even than Grandmas idea of where best to fasten the end of the fishing line to command Grandads full attention.
