Can't help you there, it was created in Chrome on a Chromebook and shows on Chrome for Mac on the iMac... both the original Google Photos link and the png attachment.
Check your settings?

Any sailor knows you never wax a polished SS anchor. You buff it with a miracle rag! We picked this grille out because it matches our SS anchor.
Magma? I had one of those. One setting was "High!" I set it at the fish cleaning table in Juneau for free and bought a Weber.
I believe it is still there!! LOL
As a former sailor, I have had amazing results rigging a riding sail while at anchor. Without it, the boat would veer 45 degrees to each side of center and at least once pulled the anchor free. Once rigged, it barely moved at all. May not be quite as dramatic on a trawler but I can't imagine it wouldn't help.

If the boom extends to nearly the stern of a boat, a riding sail that starts at the after most part of the boom may be effective....
Been there dun dat on a GB42 - waste of time.
Hi All,
Well after owning a sailboat and 2 years on this baby... we're learning how to anchor and liking it so far. Specifics: Bruce anchor with 300' of chain. I know the science and have practiced with our sailboat and last weekend the trawler. The PO had a line with a hook that secures to the capstan, but when I used that to get the chain unloaded... the weight of everything was still on the bow sprit. I have the ports on the bow for mooring lines. How would the boat ride the wind if I put a single snubber line through one of the holes only? Should I use a Y setup and use both holes for the snubber setup?

We are not a planning hull, but we swing pretty good as we don't have much of a keel. A little whisper and off we go.

Intuitively, you would think a keel would help, but sailboats have the same problem. The wind against the exposed hull makes your boat act like a big sail.
Archie, that's funny, it shows up in your reply. I take it you are using a Safari browser? Try something more robust like Chrome. In the meantime see attachment.
