[Rhodes22-list] Kellet

[Slim]

Thanks Bob,

I haven't used one because I have yet to anchor in a situation where I think
I need more than my 9 lb. Delta plow.  I often anchor in a very weedy
area--the Danforth's weak suit and the Delta's strong suit--but it seems to
me the kellet would help solve all the anchoring problems of cantenary,
angle of pull and shock absorption all in one fell swoop.
