[Rhodes22-list] Hunting at anchor

[ellner]

I have a large snap, 3"-4" or so. I clip that to the bow eye and run the 
rode through the snap. It seems to keep the boat centered to the wind 
better. Where we anchor quite often the wakes from the power boats come 
from a different direction than the wind. In that case we anchor then swing 
the bow into the wakes and drop a picnic anchor from the stern, this helps 
a lot.
