[Rhodes22-list] Hunting at anchor

[Mark Kaynor]

Michael,

In the course of looking for info on this topic, I came across a couple of
interesting sites.

http://www.boattraining.com/waterways/ww_spring00/technique_anchor.htm

And, even though it doesn't really address anchor swing, I found "Where to
keep your boat in a hurricane" a good read.
