About This Item

There is some doubt in the public mind as to how this phrase should be spelled. Internet searches for 'anchors away' bring up many thousands of hits. The correct spelling is 'anchors aweigh'. The supposed shout of 'anchors away' fits well with the image of ropes being cast off and the anchor being hoisted as a ship prepares to sail away across the sea. The meaning of the word was nevertheless not the same as the current 'away - removed to a distance' meaning, but rather the 'aweigh - being weighed' meaning. The word 'aweigh' or, as it was often spelled in early citations, 'a-weigh', is now only used in this little phrase.

    So I had intended to drop this TB a few caches back on the island caches, but 2 were micros, and one had no container. I didn't want to leave your TB there. So this is in a well protected cemetery cache. Hidden from the road, free from muggles, very peaceful, and over looking a very nice river (Wenatchee?) so still water-y themed! Thanks for letting me keep it so long, and I hope it does well!
