0:05.2	What's going on everybody? It's the Tom Rollin podcast brought to you by Dan Co.
0:09.2	We're doing how-to Tuesday's boating. And one of the things that a lot of people ask is how do you know if you're
0:15.6	dragon anchor? You know the wind's blowing, a lot of times you're pulling a lot of slack
0:21.0	out of the anchor line and you also look around and if you're not really all that
0:25.2	familiar with boating you kind of feel like you know the tides move and the wind's blowing
