[Rhodes22-list] Anchoring in a 5 knot current

[Bill Effros]

Frone,

This requires more than a shoot from the hip answer.  I have not written 
up the procedure for myself, and I'm swamped right now.  As soon as I 
get the chance to write it up, I will, and I'll post it to the list in 
answer to your questions.  If I don't get to it within 2 weeks, please 
ask again.  You are picturing it right, although there is more to it 
than that.
