Ok. @Tom J zip ties holding anchor and rode pretty in place BAD.
Having a knife in the hand. Better than a bird.

Anchoring

can't imagine being aboard without a knife in my pocket, or anywhere else for that matter. I ALWAYS have a knife in pocket, if I have my pants on.
I don't always have a knife in my pocket, but I have taken to keeping one at the helm and at the mast; going back to the cockpit is too far, and I seem to need it more often up front (this was on my cruising cat, not the boat in my avitar).
I learned a lesson about this last time out. (The easy way, fortunately.) Launched at Crescent Beach, where there's a long, dredged channel through a shallow bay to reach open water. Mid way through the channel the engine died. I had just reorganized my anchor and rode set up to make it quicker and easier to deploy. If the same thing had happened on any previous trip I would have been in much more of a panic. Better lucky than good, eh?
If it was good enough for Tarzan it’s good enough for meIsn't that a good way to slice your tongue. Oh....Then you could speak with forked tongue..
