Given you're in the Bahamas, doesn't anybody use a Bahamian moor to

limit boat swing?



Rarely, any more. They were mostly to overcome the shortcomings of the CQR,
Danforth/Fortress and other second- or first-generation anchors which didn't
reset well.

The new third-generation (Rocna and lookalikes, Spade, et. al.) anchors
generally stay put. Indeed, the Rocna folks caution against the typical in
telling their prospects NOT to oversize it. That was before we knew that,
so went up two sizes (the Delta secondary is one up).
