Thanks, Traveller. ...* It is safer if I don't reveal my anchor selection.* I'll only go so far as to say it has no moving parts.
I completely understand why you don't want to open THAT can of worms!!* Actually, I found that almost any anchor works well in the bay.* Well, except perhaps for the one on a sailboat that went up on the beach near Berkeley one winter long ago.* I hiked down to have a look, and the owner was aboard sorting through what was left. I asked what happened, and he said he just got the boat, and was anchored the night before when the anchor let go in the middle of the night.* When I asked what he had for an anchor, he pulled on the anchor line to show me, and I kid you not, there was an old bicycle frame at the end........................Arctic Traveller
