Hi All!
In preparing for a trip this weekend, I inspected and marked my anchor rode. I was told by the folks organizing the trip that I would need to have two anchors; a bow and stern anchor in order to anchor along the shore of a small island in the California Delta. I have two anchors, both are Danforths 13#'ers. One of them has 20 feet of chain and 300 feet of rope. The other has 10 feet of chain and 100 feet of rope. This is probably more ground tackle than I need for a Catalina 22.
I am considering make some changes in my ground tackle. I am thinking about reducing the rode on the 300 foot set up and getting a smaller anchor for the 100 foot set up.
What are you all using for your ground tackle?
Thanks!
Kevin
