I'd lie awake worrying that they'll tangle...

They'd better not go at it too enthusiastically - not much catenary there

The elasticity of the nylon replaces the lack of catenary.They'd better not go at it too enthusiastically - not much catenary there
However as neither anchor has been deeply set and the holding looks poor - its all a bit academic.
If you find yourself anchored next door - your nightmares lack realism.

Trip to the toilet in the middle of the night ain’t going to go well. Or quietly.

When we moved ashore after 22 years on the yacht we joked about putting things away in the kitchen in case anything got spilled in the wake of a passing lorry.
I was surprised really how easily the transition was. And what it's like to own a tree.

If you look after it, it won't be a cross tree... ;-)

Yes I was concerned whether the penetration was adequate. Perhaps they'd failed to assess how firm or soft the bottom was.
The other worry is how well those Danforth types would cope with a change of direction during the night.

Is that sort of thing usual in your house?

Maybe if you have a water bed there is a need to keep an eye on the tides...

On a slightly serious note I do know of someone whose water bed caused a few other problems. They filled it up, went to work. When they came home it had moved itself downstairs again. When I say serious, of course everyone laughed.

Dual purpose ones would be rubbers ?

An interesting aspect of the cartoon is that in this one and most others the anchor in the illustration is commonly a Fisherman/Admiralty Pattern, CQR or Danforth. It must say something - but I'm not sure what.

I think he put them there to stop her experiencing the earth moving.
