Hell, I might as throw in.
 Re: Make my life easier http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...my+life+easierDIFFERENT ANCHORING APPROACH: tie a weight about 5-10 feet ahead of your normal anchor. This does the same thing as adding chain to the anchor but better. The weight can be a 10lb mushroom anchor, etc. I've never seen a more reliable positioning method.

tsubaki that's a pretty sweet set up too. I've seen something like before in a book, but never knew someone actually uses it. It is definitely the strongest way to anchor. And you're right Nipper, I don't use more than 30' when anchoring at the beach in the summer, usually in about 6-10' of water. And that's very close to a very deep and fast moving inlet. (Masonboro Inlet, NC) Water speed is around 8-10 knots! I use a 12# with 8' of 1/4" chain...sets the first time everytime. The pulpit really helps the boat stay fine when at anchor, even when I'm stern to the beach with my stern anchor on the beach, and beam-to the current. She always stays put. Of course I carry 350' for those just in case situations.....you just never know.
