[Rhodes22-list] Newbie anchoring questions

[anima]

I overnight a lot. My Danforth has yet to drag.
We have a mud/sand bottom for the most part (if you
do not happen to anchor in the tree stumps!)
I dunk the mud off as best I can and take my time about
it if I have someone on the tiller. When alone, I dunk only
a few times and hose the thing off when I get in to the dock.

tide changes 180 degrees, will the anchor pull out and drag?  And if so

different type?
