Why the name Anchorsaway?It is a play on the Navy’s use of the words, “anchors aweigh.” According to the naval tradition, the word “weigh” in this sense comes from the archaic word meaning to heave, hoist or raise. It means that that action has been completed. The anchor is aweigh when it is pulled from the bottom. This event is duly noted in the ship’s log. When students have completed the Anchorsaway program, their anchors are raised (Anchors Aweigh!), their sail is set, and God navigates their boat to the point of His choosing. |
