Whatever. For the record, my boat has always had mixed rode. Anyone
anchoring in a 14' open runabout during "a blow" would have to be nuts,

A neighbor of mine anchored an 18' open runabout during a "blow" a couple
of years ago.

He sunk it four times in three days of singificant wind/wave action; it was
quite funny watching him bail it with a 5-gallon paint bucket (the only
reason this was possible is that the water in which it sunk wasn't deep
enough to allow it to go completely under) in his boxers....
