[Rhodes22-list] Another Danforth question

[Ronald Lipton]

So far (just 3 times anchoring) I have not had a problem with snarls.
I agree that thinking ahead is crucial.  This was one of those learning
experiences that drives the point home.  I really should have practiced
anchoring and understood the procedures before ever getting into
a situation where I had to anchor quickly.
