This is my irregular regular check in. First thanks to all for input on
anchoring. I have not done my second nite out yet, but I will be getting my
second anchor for sure first. That leads me to my first question as I
starting looking into the many types and prices of anchors can be
overwhelming to a newcomer. I am trying to learn more about them. What types
of anchors are people using and why? Are there any that you especially
didn't like? 

A couple of answers to Mr. Rummy. Yes I did wax the hull. I still had a
faded area on the starboard side. Suggestions for fading? Yes, I have 10
feet of chain on the rode. And yes I guess my boat now has character with
'the scratch'. My mom tried the 'character' approach after I rode into a
parked truck with my brand new bike when I was 5.  I didn't buy it then
either.

Next, my hatch lock just broke. So I thought I would pop it out and replace
it. Guess what 'no popping'. I cannot see how to easily get to the underside
of that hatch top. It slides back and forth, but I can;t see how to slide it
out to get to those screws. Do I actually have to remove the rails? Yikes.
Let me know. 

I jumped in the water after two months to inspect the hull after sitting in
salt water for two months. I was very impressed by the lack of algae etc.
Some light brushing and I was done. Nice.
