ANCHORING
Objectives: After studying the topic in the course book and seminar, the students should be able to: identify and use correctly the words and expressions related to anchoring; create and role-play a situation involving going to/leaving anchorage or riding at anchor; translate a text on anchorahe accurately (e.g. excerpts from the Pilot Book)

1.

Ships may anchor either in the open roadstead or in the inner harbour. To bring the ship to anchor, it is necessary to slacken speed and stop the engine at the proper time. Both anchors must be ready to let go. The ship may ride to one or two anchors. If there is a strong wind, it is necessary to bring her head up into the wind. In case there is a strong tidal stream or current the ship should be stem on to the current. When the ship is near her intended place, she is given a little sternway with the engine (if there is no wind or current) and one anchor is dropped, then the anchor chain is paid out, and, if necessary, the other anchor is let go. When the chain is brought up, that is when the vessel has come to rest in water, the brake is set as tight as possible. The scope of chain to be paid out depends on many factors, such as the size of the ship, the weather and tide conditions, the quality of the holding ground. It is the captain or the officer of the watch (OOW) who must determine how much of chain is to be paid out in each case. Usually, a length of chain equal to about five times the depth of water is sufficient. When the ship has been anchored, the watch officer takes the anchorage bearings. He also sees that the soundings are taken at the anchorage and enters into the log book both the bearings and soundings. Then he marks the ships position on the chart. When the vessel is at anchor at night one or more men are posted on anchor watch. It is their duty under the officer of the watch to see to the security of the ship, to see that there is sufficient room for the vessel to swing, with the tide without striking another vessel. 2. VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT Dialogue 1. P= Pilot; C= Captain P: In an hours time we will approach the port. As its ebb time now we shall have to wait for the tide in the outer roadstead. The depths in the entrance to port are not sufficient for our draft. C: How long shall we wait for the tide? P: We will have to wait until sunset. C: Shall we have to anchor or may we make fast to the mooring buoys there? P: There are no mooring buoys there; well have to anchor half a mile off-shore. C: What landmarks will we have there for the anchorage? P: There is a conspicuous water tower on the coast, which should be kept on bearing 36 and the lighthouse at the port entrance, which should bear 78. C. What are the depths at the anchorage?

P: The bottom is quite even; there are no rocks or shoals. C: What is the nature of the ground there? P: There is good holding ground; soft mud with few patches of sand. C: Is there enough room at the anchorage for swinging? P: Oh, there is plenty of room for several ships. Dialogue 2. P: In half an hour we shall be at the anchorage, Its time to notify the engine room and to get the anchors ready. C: Thats right. Which anchor are we going to use? P: Well use the starboard anchor. C: How much chain shall we need? P: I think four shackles will do. C: All right. Ive ordered a deck-hand to start taking soundings. P: Thats very good. You see that red tower over there? We must steer for that tower till the port lighthouse opens to southward. C: Well, what then? P: Then we must alter the course 40 to starboard and steer for the lighthouse till we are a mile off-shore. That is our berth.

C: Oh. I see. The depths are beginning to decrease. Dialogue 3

P: Soon well be underway and proceed into port. C: Fine! I have already given orders to stand by to weigh anchor. We have just got a radiogram from our agent. He has arranged to berth the ship at Berth No.7. P: Very good, Sir. This is a very convenient berth. C: How shall we proceed from here? P: We shall steer for the port lighthouse, keeping in the green sector of the light till we come to the entrance. Then we shall keep two red leading lights in line till we pass through the entrance. After that we shall keep the bright light ashore in line with the breakwater head light. This will bring us straight to the wharf. C: All right, thats clear. Shall we heave the anchor up? 3.

5. Read and study the following excerpts from the Pilot Book related to anchoring. Notice how the vocabulary is used and then discuss the information you can derive from these excerpts. Use a Maritime Dictionary, if necessary. 5.1. There is an anchorage about 2 miles S of the harbour entrance in depths from 5.5m to 7.3m, stiff blue clay. This anchorage is considerably sheltered and the sea is kept down by The Owers (5040'N, 040'W), which acts as a natural breakwater during W and WSW winds. 5.2. There is anchorage off Shoreham harbour in any convenient depth from 4m, sand over clay and chalk, about 3 cables off the entrance to 9m, sand and shingle with patches of chalk, 2 miles offshore. The pilots consider the best holding ground, sand and gravel over chalk and clay, is 1 miles off the entrance, in a depth of 7m, with High Lighthouse bearing 000. 5.3. Anchorage off Folkstone harbour is much exposed and is only used by vessels waiting for the tide to enter harbour. The best holding ground is in depth from 12m to 18m, clay and sand. A good berth is with Copt Point in line with Folkstone Breakwater Light, bearing 025, the latter distant 2 cables. Vessels anchored 7 cables S of the breakwater have reported dragging their anchors over apparently rocky bottom. 5.4. Good anchorage, in offshore or # winds, can be found in a depth of 7.5m in Seaford Road, 1 miles ESE of the breakwater head, with Beachy Head Old Lighthouse in line with the foot of Seaford Cliff, bearing 109, and Seaford church, bearing 055. This anchorage is clear of the track of cross-channel ferries to and from Newhaven, and provides good shelter with winds from E by S, through N, to WNW. 5.5. No vessel shall anchor in the approach to the E or W entrance to the harbour in such a position as to obstruct the free passage of any other vessel through either of these entrances. No vessels without the permission of the Harbour Master are allowed to anchor in the fairway. Vessels shall moor or anchor in accordance with the direction of the Harbour Master, and when any such vessels have been moored or anchored, they shall not be moved therefrom without the permission of the Harbour Master except in case of emergency.

6. GRAMMAR : FUTURE 6.1. Will 6.1.1. Form will + infinitive without to contractions : ll= will ; wont = will not We use will with all persons. We can also use shall instead of will with I and We eg. I/We shall work ( but in every day speech, we normally use contractions Ill and Well.) 6.1.2. Use 6.1.2.1. We can use will to predict the future e.g.. Tomorrow will be another cold day in all parts of the country. In the future, machines will do many of the jobs that people do today. Who do you think will win the football match on Sunday? We wont arrive home before midnight tonight. When we predict the future, we often use will with the following verbs and expressions: Think expect believe be sure be afraid hope

e.g. I expect theyll be here at around 10 oclock tomorrow morning. Im sure youll enjoy the filmif you go and see it. We also se will in this way with adverbs of probability, e.g. probably, perhaps, certainly e.g. Martin will probably phone us this evening. Perhaps Ill see you tomorrow. 6.1.2.2. We also use will when we decide to do something at the moment of speaking. e.g. Would you like something to drink? Oh., thank you. Ill have some orange juice. Theres somone at the door. Is there? Oh, Ill see who it is. Im going out shopping. Oh, are you? Ill come with you, then. I need to get some things myself.

6.2. Going to 6.2.1. Form be+going to+infinitive e.g. I am going to work Are you going to work? I am not going to work. 6.2.2. Use Sentences with going to connect the future and the present 6.2.2.1. We use going to to talk about something in the future which we can see as a result of something in the present e.g. Look at those black clouds in the sky. Its going to rain. Those people are going to get wet. Hurry up! Its getting late. Youre going to miss your train. Look out! That ladder is going to fall! For this reason, sentences with going to are often about the near future. 6.2.2.2. We also use going to to talk about what we intend to do in the future. We use going to when we have already decided to do something. e.g. Why have you moved all the furniture out of this room? Im going to clean the carpet Lynne has just sold her car. Is she going to buy a new one? 6..3. Will and Going to 6.3.1.We use both will and going to in predictions about the future, but there is a difference: We use will to talk about what we think or believe will happen in the future. e.g. That boat doesnt look very safe. Itll sink in that heavy sea. Dont climb that tree. Youll fall and hurt yourself. We use going to to talk about something in the future which we can see as a result of something in the present. e.g. Look at that boat! Its going to sink. Look out! Youre going to fall!

6.3.2. We use both will and going to to talk about what we intend to do, but there is a difference here: We use will when we decide to do something at the moment of speaking. e.g. Oh dear! Ive spilt some wine on my jacket. Dont worry. Ill clean it for you. What shall I do tomorrow? I know! Ill paint the kitchen. We use going to when we have already decided to do something. e.g. Why have you moved all the furniture out of this room? Im going to clean the carpet. Why are you putting on those old clothes? Im going to paint the kitchen. 6.4. Present continuous for the future We use the present continuous to talk about something that we have already arranged or planned to do in the future. e.g. What are you doing on Saturday evening? Im meeting Sarah Sarah is taking an exam on Monday. Were visiting some friends in Scotland next weekend. When we use the present continuous in this way, we often give the future time (e.g. on Saturday evening, on Monday, this afternoon, next weekend) 6.4.1. Present continuous and going to 6.4.1.1. When we talk about things we have already arranged to do or planned to do in the future, we can use the present continuous or going to. e.g. Im having lunch with Lynne tomorrow. Im going to have lunch with Lynne tomorrow. 6.4.1.2. When we make predictions about the future, we can use going to (or will), but not the present continuous. e.g. Its going to rain tomorrow. (Its raining tomorrow is not possible) 6.5. Present simple for the future We use the present simple to talk about future events which are part of a fixed timetable or fixed programme.

e.g. What time does the tennis start tomorrow? At 6.15. Next summer the school holidays begin on July 25th and end on September 10th. The film starts at 7.10 and finishes at 9.00. What time does your plane leave tomorrow? We use the present simple in this way when we think of something in the future as a fact, or as an arrangement or plan which cannot change. 6.5.1. Present simple for the future after when, if, etc. We use the present simple to refer to the future in clauses of time and condition after when while, as soon as, after, before, until, if, unless, as/so long as and provided/providing (that). Will/wont Ill buy a newspaper We wont go out Well go to the beach Ill go to the party 6.6. Future continuous: will be+-ing 6.6.1. Form will be+ing I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they will be working (affirmative) I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they will not be working(negative) Will I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they be working ?(interrogative) This form is sometimes called the future progressive CONTRACTIONS: ll =will ; wont = will not We can use shall instead of will with I and We e.g. I/We shall be working(but , in every day speech , we normally use the contractions Ill and Well). The negative of shall is shall not (contraction: shant). 6.6.2. Use 6.6.2.1. We use will be+-ing to talk about something which will be in progress at a time in the future. e.g. Ill be having dinner at 7.00. Dont phone me at 8.00. Ill be doing my homework then. What will you be doing this time next week? present simple when I go out. until it stops raining. if the weather is nice. provided you go too.

6.6.2.2. We also use will be+-ing to talk about things in the future which are already planned, or which are part of a regular routine. e.g. Ill be driving into town later on. Do you want a lift? Would you like me to give peter a message for you? Oh, I dont want to trouble you. its no trouble, really. Ill be seeing Peter tomorrow anyway. We often use will be+-ing as a polite way of asking about someones plans, especially when we want someone to do something for us. e.g. Will you be going out this morning? Yes, why? Oh, could you get me a newspaper? Will you be using your camera at the weekend? I wondered if I could borrow it. When we use will be+-ing form in this way, it often suggests that we do not want to change the other persons plans. 6.7. Future perfect: will have+past participle 6.7.1. Form will have + past participle I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they will have finished/gone (affirmative) I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they will not have finished/gone (negative) Will I/you/he/she/it/we/you/they have finished/gone? (interrogative) CONTRACTIONS: ll = will ; wont = will not We can use shall instead of will with I and We e.g. I/we shall have finished ( but, in everyday speech, we normally use the contractions Ill and well). The negative of shall is shall not ( contraction: shant), 6.7.2. Use We can use will have + past participle to talk about something that will be completed by (not later than) a certain time in the future. When we use this structure, we think of a future time and look back from that future time to say that something will be completed. e.g. Ill have finished dinner by 8.00. Ill have worked here for a year next September. 6.8. Future in the past: was/were going to We can use was/were going to + infinitive to say that something was planned for the future at a past time. e.g. They were going to get married, but in the end they changed their mind

Note that when we use this structure, it often means that the planned future action did not happen. e.g. I was going to stay at home last night, but I decided to go out instead. We were going to eat at the Italian restaurant, but it was full, so we ate somewhere else. 7.Grammar Practice 1. Derek is 18 years old now. What will he be like in 10 years from now?
