Hi guys Im have been a dock kind of guy for years now I lost my dock slip and Im moored out for the first time Im in a bay in lake george but in a storm I can get hit with about 15MI of wind and 4to 6' high waves comeing down the lake. I sit in about 10' of water and I have 15' of 12" chain with 12' of threestrand nylon 5/8 my weight is a300lb mushroomanchor but there is not much to grab on the bottom there is about 12" of soft mud and then hard gray clay and the mushroom is slideind around on the bottom and seems to be on its sidewith the shank shifting and spining depending on wind direction the boats are very close .last sunday we where hiting andI had to choke up on the pendentwith the chain up at the serface this weekend I pulled the anchor and moved it out about 10 feet what do you think I was thinking of adding another mushroom 250 lb and about 30 ' of chain and put it north of the boat since the wind and waves can only come from that way the south is land locked and the waves cant build. how much space should there be between boats ? help me guys .
