[Rhodes22-list] anchoring

I agree!
 
The best thing to do is to have a couple of different anchors.
 
I'm going to buy a Delta to carry aboard in addition to the Danforth and Mushroom anchors.

Elle,
Sounds like Slim's got the answer.  He has experience with the Delta 
and says it is good in weeds.  As far as anchor rode goes, I'm gonna 
stick with a short length of chain between anchor and nylon because the 
chain helps hold the anchor at a good angle to dig in.  Lots of tests by 
folks like Practical Sailor magazine back that up.  That's usually what 
a kellet is used for if you have to anchor with short scope, to hold the 
anchor at a better angle.
Best,
Joe
