Default More Anchors!

We already knew that. Why didn't you?

On a more serious note, I am beginning to detest the ubiquitous Danforth.

These anchors
may be great in sand and mud, but they are an abomination if the mud is

sprouting much
in the way of weeds, or if the mud is sticky clay. You may get the anchor

to set when
you first lower it, but if you swing and it upsets the chances of it

resetting is somewhere
between slim and none. The flukes become fouled with either mud and or

weeds and the thing just
skates across the bottom.

Cheers
