I have plenty of mooring lines and 400' of anchor lines. I also keep lots of extra line in the hold in a plastic tub. Could be about twenty or more lines there of varying lengths and sizes. Always seem to need extra lines to hold the dinghy down, hang a fender, make up lines for the dinghy, Tie things to keep them from moving around when Willy starts rolling and she can become quite a good roller. Never counted them and never intend to. I have basically the same system at home too. More than one tub there.

At home I like to have plenty of fairly short pieces of wood that I call dunnage to put things on keeping them off the ground. Longer pieces make good prybars. I was like a fish out of water when we first got to Alaska w/o any dunnage. Collected it as fast as I could and being sourrounded by sawmills it didn't take long.

FF tell us about anchoring in "250 to 400' of water. Do you have a reel type winch or a big capstan?
